Two problems here, Chris. First, this subject isn't a matter of
opinion. It's a matter of fact. No one here knows enough to know if
the scientists who research the subject are altering data to suit an
"agenda." Anyone who makes that statement is flat-out full of ****.

In my opinion this subject is still a matter of opinion, not fact.

That's because you don't know the facts, and you have no way to
evaluate them.

Until someone comes up with a model that agrees with the actual data, it is still an opinion.

No. You're misstating the nature of statistical models.

Even when someone has a model that agrees with the actual data, it is still a theory. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is a theory, even though many experiments have be made that show the experiment agrees with the Theory.

Theories are not opinions. Theories are based on facts.
