No, you aren't just disputing the consensus. You are claiming that climatologists "shut critics and skeptics" out of the field, so we shouldn't listen to them.

No, you aren't just disputing the consensus. You are claiming that climatologists "shut critics and skeptics" out of the field, so we shouldn't listen to them. Yes, they do shut out pseudoscience, as do other legitimate sciences. That is different from disagreement on scientific facts. Climatologists disagree about very fundamental things all the time.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoThere are people on the record saying certain kinds of results simply shouldn’t be published. Also, anybody who views climate prediction as intrinsically suspect pseudoscience isn’t going to want to enter the field either.
- cultus 8y agoSo now you are saying that climatology is literally pseudoscience.
- viridian 8y agoThat isn't what was said though. This entire conversation chain is painful to read, I would encourage you to read up on the principle of charity. It's a dialectic tactic that seems to be fast fading in the world of click bait and outrage, and I think everyone is suffering for it.
