It is arguable that the most damaging effect of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming crowd is the damage they have done and are doing to the reputation and public view of Science.

I agree.

When the public sees the scientific community circling the wagons around a group that uses a “trick” to “hide the decline” on a rather speculative branch of scientific study where the scientific experimental method cannot be used (not having a “control” Earth on hand) it cannot help but to discredit science in the minds of many.

Of all the hills to chose to make a stand on - this is truly making a mountain (important and defensible) out of a molehill (inconsequential and absolutely indefensible).
