I’m a Scientist too. I literally have a masters and am 2nd author on 3 different papers on environment sensor networks. I’ve literally developed systems for monitoring temperature data:

..But that also doesn’t matter because it’s an argument from authority.
I will always trust scientists that promote a position despite it being a) unpopular
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE POSITION OF CLIMATE CHANGE IS INSANELY POPULAR!!! It’s literally the most popular opinion right now! If fact, by your insane logic, you should be putting more value on those who have lost their grants and funding by opposing the climate narrative because there’s a fuck ton more of them.
being contrary to societal norms and behaviours
This post-modern view that things which go against the current norms are somehow better; progressiveness for progressive sake .. it doesn’t fulfill a societal fitness requirement. The norms that are in place are here because they helped society survive to this point. To dismiss them outright and desire to replace them usually doesn’t end well.
Those scientists trying to bring this to our attention are largely selfless heroes
The term hero is overused and has little meaning anymore. A hero is a person who gives up his career and is dishonorably discharged from he military because he refused to take an experimental preventative drug that was developed in two months and doesn’t work.
A scientist that goes along with the 99% of other scientists who believe the current thing is not a hero. They a conformer. They’re likely to administer the lethal shock to the other person in the Stanley Milgram experiments.
The extreme contradictions in your statements show just how far deep in the ideology you are in. It is part of your core identity and you cannot separate yourself from it, even when your beliefs aren’t even logically consistent.
