Scientific dogmatism in the contemporary globalized society
D,A.
In contemporary societies there are some issues that although they generate uncertainty they were defined as absolutely proven. Disagreeing with these absolute assumptions is forbidden. To be politically correct you have to agree with what the popes of "science" and politics decide.

One example es observed in the discussions on climate change, allegedly caused by the consumption of "fossil fuels".
Whoever does not agree with this view is at risk of being declared "unfaithful".
The "climate change" dogma reads as follows: "climate change exists and (of course), the consumption of "fossil fuels" is to blame".
There is a lot of "original sin" in this view of the role humans play in the dynamics of the earth's atmosphere
It is claimed that 98% of scientists agree for climate change, and that "only ignorant people" can deny it. 
That is an easy way to demonstrate something you do not want to demonstrate. 
Supposedly there is a majority of scientists on one side of the question (not shown in any independent survey) and therefore they are right. Obviously science does not work like that.

In reality, no one disagrees with the notion that climate changes. 
It could not be otherwise.
 Climate had changed. Geology shows that climate change has been the rule in the Earth history.
What is not certain what type of climate change there is. 
We do not know if there is global warming or global cooling or none of them.
There are many scientists, hundreds of sites on the internet and dozens of videos on YouTube where many scientists express theirdoubts about these dogmatic statements.
The reaction of the bigots of the dogmatism of climate change facing global warming skepticism is of intolerance. 
Perhaps they don't want to lose their academic protagonism or their juicy artificial projects.
