Hey, no worries, maybe I should have added a smilie?
Those of us who have been in a serious science environment have seen plenty of examples of "concensus science", where people are too lazy or too indoctrinated or too threatened to admit to their doubts about the current paradigm.
Science needs people to rock the boat from time to time - but it must be done constructively - "conspiracy theory" is never a good way to oppose scientific orthodoxy.
And don't threaten someone's budget. Lovelock caused HUGE turmoil by pointing out that we could measure Mars' biosphere by telescopic spectroscopy from Earth at a cost of a few million or tens of millions of dollars, rather than direct landings at a cost of billions. Someone was counting on those billions to feed their empire...
