Big leap to go from "global warming deniers" to "holocaust deniers". Talk about logical fallacies.
First off, I want to clear something up for you. Science is, in fact, all about the "revealed truth". It serves to reveal the actual truth about the universe around us, from the tiniest particle whose truths we are still struggling to discover, to the machinations of huge, massive bodies as they hurtle through the mostly empty space around them, interacting with other massive bodies from a gargantuan distance using forces we can now predict with relatively simple mathematics.
The "revealed truth" of our body of knowledge is just that: the truth of how things work, which is true whether or not we coax it into revealing itself to us through investigation and experimentation, but becomes revealed to us after the considerable effort of the scientists whose works you seem ready to dismiss because a handful of scientists don't agree with them. Is it also advisable to skip brushing your teeth because a commercial once said only "four out of five dentists agree: brush your teeth after every meal"?
These scientists you speak of are not persecuted geniuses who are just misunderstood, they're actually bad at science, and their arguments have, time and time again, been proven incorrect by actual science, their methods have been proven flawed by actual scientific method, and their epithets hurled at all the "establishment scientists" serve only to weaken their position because it comes from a position of emotion rather than science.
The comment to which you replied was clearly written by an impassioned observer who cares how science is applied, and yet you seem to confuse his position with that of actual climatologists. His comment is about the masses who do not understand how science reveals the truth of the world around us, and you literally stepped in to discredit his opinion statement by invoking the holocaust. It's shameful. And it's a shame, because your passion is better served by fighting for the pursuits of those seeking to reveal the truths hiding in plain sight, not arguing with concerned humans who just want the work to continue.
