Shoot, the thousands of scientists who have researched climate change since the 1970s must have never taken the very first class in statistics. They must be embarrassed now that you told them about this.

That doesn't seem like it applies here. The argument is that "expert consensus has consistently said a thing", which is a very reasonable stance to take.

The default would be to assume the scientific consensus is correct, then being evidence/reasons to show when it's not.
