I'm not taking sides on these matters, because I don't know enough, but if these claims about the scientific community are somewhat true, it also explains why there isn't any peer-reviewed material on the skeptic side. All these other arguments are also flawed. Science based on peer-reviewing papers resulting from closed source code and data is also flawed.

What makes you think there isn't any peer-reviewed material on the skeptic side? There's some. Not as much as there could be, perhaps...

For instance, there's this paper explaining the weakness of tree rings in temperature reconstructions: http://icecap.us/images/uploads/Loehle_Divergence_CC.pdf
