If this site is reactionary to mainstream beliefs and not beliefs held in the scientific community, why is the site named "Science is Broken"? The entire point of the site is trying to show that the scientific community is corrupt and has an agenda while trying to disprove beliefs held by the public, not the scientific community. That is an argument flaw and a strawman. If the site was trying to disprove common misconceptions about global warming, I would agree that the arguments are not strawmen, but since it is an attempt to disprove the scientific community with public misconception, it becomes one.
