1. 'Scientists' are not monolithically and fungibly knowledgeable across all fields.
2. 'Scientists' are loathe to pronounce certainty in value-laden terminology like catastrophic.
3. The response to purported scientific consensus about the future of climate isn't so much about whether or not we wish it to be true as it is the complex analysis of the best response to the pronouncement for the bulk of humanity.
