It's not the nebulous Science that gets me, it's the bad science. Any small tenuous bit of data that supports it - "Look, global warming is happening...". Any equally small, equally tenuous bit of data against - "It's just a statistical outlier and doesn't mean a thing." That is just bad science regardless of whatever the facts are.
P.S. Has anyone else noticed how it went from 'global warming' to 'climate change' as soon as the fact the planet wasn't significantly warming up was pointed out?
