You're conflating true science with the fake science held by political hacks. True science is always open to new ideas. Even Newton's 'Law of Gravity', shown as accurate for centuries, is challenged and found wanting under some circumstances. Real scientists accept, and even laud such skepticism.

The 'science' you rightly excoriate is not science at all. It is political activism in the name of science, practiced by pretenders. Real scientists are always skeptics. As Albert Einstein once famously said about a book by a hundred authors attempted to show he was wrong: “Why 100? If I were wrong, one would have been enough."

What would you call Global Warming? They sell it as true science.
