The Badger Herald: Opinion: Climate change lectures suppress relevant debate
In almost every field of science, there are ongoing debates and opposing theories. Even the most basic issues of biology and physics are hotly debated for decades before the science is understood. Yet we are supposed to believe that in the nascent field of climatology, scientific understanding regarding one of the most complicated and multifaceted problems in science — predicting global temperature changes over hundreds of years — is settled. And we’re supposed to believe that in the course of just 25 years this science has been so fully understood that anyone who dares to claim otherwise should be dismissed, out of hand, as a politically motivated crackpot, a “flat-earther” or denier.

This is absurd on the face of it. When you see a spectacle where scientists are actively discouraging debate and ignoring counterviews one has to think perhaps global warming is not about science.
