And a lot of climate change advocates' technique reminds me of the religious zealots of the past. Even down to the ad hominems like "Christ denier"/"climate change denier".
Firstly, I don't believe climate change is a matter of "belief". No such thing as a "climate change denier". Climate change is an intrinsic part of nature. It always exists.

But the "science is not yet in". That's why there is so much debate, even within the "climate change" advocacy group.
If climate change was a developed science and we understood climate change adequately, we wouldn't have so many climate change models. We would have ONE.
On the one hand, climate change advocates claim that the climate is too complex that we can't have a predictive model yet. And yet, climate change advocates also claim that their own personal view is gospel and everyone else who doesn't agree are heretics.
