Is it appropriate for scientists to politicize science? Is it appropriate for them to disseminate theories (e.g. the "forcing" theory) as established fact to the general public? Scientists on the other side have been muzzled in academia and the scientific press. Are you okay with that?
Of course not. Gagging is never correct. But the preponderence of evidence on scientific matters is left up to scientists. Do you have a problem with that?
