Let's continue to make that even more analogous to climate science: "You've found a bomb in school disguised as a soda vending machine. You alert the school administrators of your finding and find yourself under attack from school administrators and soda vendors. You then use unproven computer models to demonstrate almost precisely where and when the bomb will detonate and what the impact will be. Your first ten predictions turn out to be completely wrong and you play down any bad predictions and shun other bomb experts who disagree with you. You also completely ignore that in the last 100 years there have been 10 completely natural and non-human caused explosions in the school and a lot of other bomb scientists think that the bomb you have found is as best as they can tell, one of these natural bombs and has nothing to do with anyone putting the bomb there on purpose or by accident. You want to keep your day job and money rolling in so you hype up your human planted bomb theory to the nth degree, build political alliances and ignore all scientific critics and work to actively keep them from making a living."
