Bullshit. Science deals with facts and theories. Look:

Fact: "I measured the CO2 content in a sample of air, and it was 400ppm." (I didn't actually measure. Bear with me.)

Fact: "50 year old textbooks list the content of CO2 in air as 280ppm."

Theory: "The increase of CO2 content in air is caused by the burning of fossil hydrocarbons."

You can argue with the theory. You can not argue with the facts. All three of them are science, and yes, that explicitly includes the argument.

What?! Citation needed.
