I don't think I implied they did. I'm only saying that humans are social creatures and that scientists are susceptible to peer pressure (even in "hard" sciences with lots of possibility for experiment). I imply no maliciousness, but am trying to voice my fear of the impossibility of knowing whether or not the consensus warming scenario is a "reversion to the social mean", that is, we just have to wait and see if warming is worse that expected.

But I'm only a bit surprised this would be such a controversial opinion here.
