Some GWHs like to try to impose their policy views by stifling the debate about man made global warming. "It's the consensus!" they will thunder–deaf to the irony that "science" isn't determined by consensus. "The skeptical scientists are on the oil company payroll!"they scream, which works for the choir but shows the rest of us their true ideological colors. "Skeptics are mere 'deniers,' akin to those who deny the Holocaust!," they sneer, as if insults persuade and a predicted end-of-the-century future is as certain as the already happened past. And then there's their supposedly great trump card, "To deny 'climate change' is to be 'anti science!"
Rubbish, all of it. Over at the Boston Globe, Jeff Jacoby has a good rejoinder to some of this nonsense. Jacoby is reacting to the political slur from Bill Clinton that one can't become the Republican nominee for POTUS unless they "deny science," meaning man made global warming. From "Climate Skeptics Don't 'Deny Science:'"

In truth, global-warming alarmism is not science at all — not in the way that elect [...]
