If they want their science to have any credibility, they need to get the politics out. And building a consensus by intimidation and academic terrorism is not how to go about it.
The whole “climate change” spectacle is the fulfillment of a century of intellectual rot in academia and science. The insanity that was tolerated in the polysci and other mush disciplines has finally spread over to the hard sciences.
Science + (Religion, Politics, or $$$$) does NOT = Science. Its a simple equation really.
