I have a blog here about scientific evidence that clearly shows the problems in "accepted" or "consensus" science.
http://thescienceanalyst.substack.com

The general problem is that one assumption is made, which later becomes a dogma in the field.
The same problem is in cults, or very weird conspiracy theories like flat-earth, scientology.
The cult-like belief hinders discussions on all sides, as people start denying clear physical evidence.

Addition:
Many "scientists" believe so much in global warming that they start denying the fact that earth was a lot warmer during the middle ages, and after the last ice-age.
Scientists are usually nerds (bad in social interactions) and not very capable of resisting social engineering and social propaganda. So they can be manipulated very easily by people with a different agenda. They also accept restrictions of freedom, because they are never free of their own thinking. The education system never learned them to be free, and just follow the narrative.

Is it that they truly believe it or is it that believing it is the only way to get funding and keep working in thier field?
