heartbroken that John Clauser seems to have joined climate change denial.

In physics, for example, there is no consensus on topics such as dark matter.
...
However, in climate science, somehow there is consensus. I wonder why?

Because climate science does not lie at the outer boundaries of theoretical physics.
When there is only one credible theory it can hardly be surprising that there is a consensus.

There has long been consensus on all of the relevant thermodynamic and other physical laws on which climate science is built.  The basic theory of anthropogenic global warming is more than 100 years old.  Using modern GCMs (general circulation models) this theory has been thoroughly tested against the last 50 years or so of climate records.  Where are the alternative competing theories that can, when tested with GCMs, get even remotely as close to the same level of agreement with those records?

You didn't watch the video, did you? It's 7.5 minutes long. There couldn't be any alternative theory. Judith Curry clearly explains why.

Follow the money! Her company gets and undisclosed percentage of income from the fossil fuel industry. Another chunk of her income comes from speaking to an Audience looking for her changed position to justify their behaviour.

We had to endure this same  :bullshit: play from the Tobacco industry 'scientists' for decades.

just exactly how smart do ya have to be to be a climate science skeptic.

Like in IQ terms.

Lots of em here.  How smart are you genuises ?

Smarter than those who can't comprehend that skepticism is inherently part of the scientific process itself, and there may be legitimate reasons to question some things.
