What on earth are you talking about? This field's too small to move the goalposts my man.

"Being skeptical" of the scientific consensus is rarely backed up by anything besides dark money. So I'm open to scientifically valid arguments against the current consensus on climate change, but until I see any of those it only makes sense to treat ****ty science the same way that you would treat any other type of fraud. We obviously take that case-by-case though because simply writing off all negating views is not very scientific. They just have to be substantiated views.
I think that any scientist who uses dishonest methods to support their view should be held accountable as well ftr.
