279. Much more than that
I think it was Al Gore and his acolytes who cemented that for me long ago.

"but the skeptics on their ass aren't exactly looking at the "science" critically"

That's actually the problem. They don't want anybody looking at the science critically.

"Skeptics on your ass" is exactly what keeps science honest.

Open publication, peer review, sharing data and methods, those result in a trusted theory.

Attempts to hide data and restrict publication immediately call the science into question.
