Default OT science question

Point is they're all scientists and they disagree so some of them are
basing their opinions on faulty 'science'.


No, not all of them are scientists despite news reports that may make
them out to be. OTOH, of the ones who are, they're people, too, and
people make mistakes and are occasionally driven by other motives than
the ones they publicly profess and are, sometimes, simply wrong. Or,
given the type of scientific questions being addressed by the global
warming question, there's certainly no lack of uncertainty in models and
so there's no surprise whatsoever that there can be conflicting
conclusions drawn from competing models of the same phenomena--that's
science.

I'm not against science I just want them to be more careful.


Well, your wanting isn't going to change the actions of either the
majority who are quite careful imo and nor the very small minority who
are exceedingly reckless or the ones in between. Again, people are
people the world 'round. For the most part, things are in reasonable
situations of checks and balances. Like all other areas of human
endeavor, things could undoubtedly be better in some areas; one can be
thankful they're not worse in others.
