Ah, yes. "Climate Scientists."
Science is a faith-based endeavor (its credo is that the universe tomorrow will be like the universe today, an assertion which cannot be proved). This leads to use of observation and experiment to predict the future. Successful predictions, accurately and honestly reported, inform us about the validity of theories which generated those predictions. Failed predictions are extremely valuable because they tell us to seek elsewhere for the truth.
Climate "Science" is also a faith-based endeavor, the credo of which is that humankind is evil and responsible for ruining the planet. It counterfeits the outward procedures of real science, such as refereed publication, observation, prediction, and experiment in order to benefit from real science's record of increasing knowledge and discovering truth.
Its publications are "refereed" by cronies who reject disconfirming observations and divergent theories; its observations are "adjusted" to confirm its assumptions; its predictions are invariably wrong about the future when compared with what actually happens; its "experiments" are models tuned to hindcast the past while producing those wrong but confirmatory predictions, using "adjusted" data. (As Rocky advised Bullwinkle, "That trick never works.")
I believe in real science, hence am skeptical. I don't believe the Climate "Science" credo or the counterfeit of real science its true-believers have manufactured in attempts to confirm it.
I trust this is clear, if verbose.
