And you're consistent about this via all scientific findings you haven't verified like the balance in your bank account? You reject as fact any astronomical data or microscopic results you haven't seen with your own eyes? Or any satellite data you haven't analyzed yourself?
Not sure where you are getting this at and what does "scientific community" have to do with anything? There are things that are play and simply facts that are absolute and unquestionable. And then there are things that are open for debate because they are not facts. "Climate change is man-made" is so broad that a 10-year old can easily debate both sides of that argument.
