No, the main problem with "climate science" is that it's impossible to take the political (and nearly religious to some on the left) aspects out of it.

Only then, can there be a serious discussion about "global warming".

"Nearly religious to some on the left" — um, I have no problem with describing some of the left's view of climate change as "nearly religious" if you accept that many on the right take a completely and utterly religious view.
You mean, literally religious. They do. On the contrary, calling the "global warming" belief a religion is metaphorical. However, I think it is a very good metaphor, as it immediately brings a certain enlightenment to the whole argument.

It is very unfortunate, in my opinion. As unfortunate as the politization of science.
