I'd wager there are many scientists -- maybe even the majority -- that think what is going on in the scientific community is insane but are just too scared to say or do anything about it.

The Left operates like the mafia -- or more accurately, an authoritarian government -- using fear, intimidation and lies to control people. By trying to personally destroy anyone who disagrees with them, they create a culture of coerced obedience, and it only takes a few radicals to create this culture. In reality the number of insane radicals on the Left is minuscule but their behavior so viscous and their voice so loud, they've successfully fooled people into believing they're far more powerful than they are, which ends up being a self-fulfilling prophesy in a way.
