For Soren, who interpreted my argument as the village idiot shaming the town council, I at least agree that the idea of denialists as village idiots is appropriate, and one I heartily agree with him on.
The point he missed, how surprising, is that when any minor disagreement, revision, or even flaw, is pounced upon as necessitating the rejection of the whole, which is overwhelmingly not proven as flawed, by his village idiots, then we have the situation where we would be destroying something worthwhile for no good reason, and that just would not be a sensible course of action, and then the council would tell the idiot to f off. It would be akin to people who found out certain medical procedures used were sometimes flawed, or not the optimal ones, and then accusing all doctors of conspiring to pervert medical knowledge, and also to demand all hospitals be closed down, and all medical treatment stopped, until we can have all medical practitioners and scientists agree just what is the optimal treatment, for every condition, in every circumstance, forever.
The result would be that nothing would ever be solved, nothing would progress, the process would have been stopped, and people would suffer who otherwise may not.
Make no mistake, this is exactly what these denialists want to happen to climate science, they want the process stopped.
A true skeptic would not be trying to stop the process of understanding, the person who does that is far more sinister.
I struggle to understand how denialists can ignore the fact that climate scientists are merely trying to find the best way to avoid unnecessary human suffering, yet they continue with their ridiculous delusion of secret cabals and secret world orders, I mean really, how freakin' loopy are these people? The less loopy ones will avoid mentioning those core beliefs, but scratch any denialist, and that insane belief is what you will find.
