A return to the scientific method would be nice. Require transparency. Require confirmation of studies through replication for any findings upon which policy will be made. In climate science, introduce quality control for the temperature and ice databases. Clean up the garbage that is our temperature monitor station network. Meeting basic, scientific standards would be a good start. Require validation for any computer models used in forecasting. If integrity means adherence to the scientific method and the implementation of basic quality standards in climate science, I'm all for it.
