"science agreed upon by a majority of scientists including more than two 9s" == "liberal orthodox line". I'm sure you have far better research, data and analytical ability than NASA and virtually every other scientific outfit on the planet.

  And scientists are never ever wrong in their predictions.

    And doctors are never ever wrong in their diagnosis. Or don't they? But you still go to doctors instead of diagnose yourself?

    No one is saying that but at least, unlike you, scientists have attempted to make a case (as have several other people on this thread). I'm inclined to go with the people who've studied this subject, made arguments, were peer reviewed at least by each other, even with the reality of their human failings and biases.

    Does there exist, in your mind, any data that would make you think global warming is real and imminent? If so, what would that data look like?

    Nah, it's just that people generally don't like to work with someone who claims "Scientists are wrong," and when asked how he/she knows it, answers "Well, they've been wrong before!" Because who wants to argue with such a person in a design meeting?

You know you keep whining that it is just liberal orthodoxy and that you will be persecuted if you speak the truth but you should observe that you are the only one throwing insults and generalizations around in this conversation. Several people have made reasoned rebuttals to comments like this one and yet only you are saying "ooh poor me, liberal witch trials!".

So, first, it's "toe the line," and second, toeing the line means stretching outside the defined limit. You may want to edit your post to make a coherent statement.

  No, it means staying inside a defined limit (i.e., standing behind the metaphorical line): "Toe the line" is an idiomatic expression meaning ... to conform to a rule or standard ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_the_line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_the_line
