If they were truly scientists, they would fully embrace the contrary views, and the opportunity to disprove them with the power of science.

So, um, just to point out, you were the one calling for compromise and cooperation in the other thread. And yet, here you're calling climate scientists (as a group, not just some individuals) an "incestuous mob of witch burners." Either we can be cooperative, acknowledge contrary viewpoints, and encourage open debate focusing on the science, or we can call each other rude names. But it's both nonsensical and hypocritical to throw out statements like this on one hand, and then call for transcending the political mudfight on the other.
