Funding. Funding is critical to academic scientists. Research into ‘global warming’ doesn’t get funded, papers won’t be published, careers don’t advance.
Apologies, that should have read “Research into ‘global warming’ that doesn’t support the narrative doesn’t get funded, papers won’t be published, careers don’t advance”.

Don't forget, The Science Is Settled, so there need be no further
research at all.

The BBC today ( A small shift makes a big difference)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74w1gyd7mko
had a bell curve which showed that the increase in temperature
extremes viz less cold winters and warmer summers is caused by a
small increase in mean temperature.
I decided to check this out and find out the mean temperature and
standard deviation and do my own sumz and work out the probabilities
for myself.
I found this paper.
<Https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Mean-UK-Summer-Temperature-with-mean -and-standard-deviations_fig2_393125384>
It says the mean summer temperature is 14C and the sd is 2C . On
that basis even getting above 20C is remote. I'm guessing I've not
spotted some sort of averaging that's reducing the fluctuation .
However ,reading the paper further , the author shows that CO2 is not affecting UK temperature, even though atmospheric CO2 is going up in
line with temperature going up "if both sets of data are increasing
with
time, there is bound to be a strong correlation between them" - a
bit like lack of pirates causing it .
What he does show is a correlation between the UK carbon emissions
going down and the UK temperatures going up .
He goes on to say " the decrease in UK carbon emissions is presumably associated with the rise in offshore wind power.,,,
And the mean UK summer temperature is indeed strongly correlated with offshore wind generating capacity....
extracting large amounts of energy must lead to low pressure down
wind of the turbines. Given prevailing westerly winds
and largely offshore wind farms, this means the creation of a
low-pressure region in the North Sea. Could it not be that this
low-pressure region is sucking hot air from Africa, leading to an
increase in the mean UK summer temperature"
Do you believe it?

That wasn't my question. Which was related to skills and
understanding, and the need for both to understand climate science.
So you believe, based on evidence, that climate scientists such as
those listed in the link above don't understand what they're looking
at, and writing and talking about. They are informed by blind faith
('climate emergency', etc.) and any science they purport is made up.
They have rudimentary skills and effectively no understanding. Is
that what you mean by 'in awe'?
And your PhD academics, and others in this thread, do understand
climate science, but it's not clear to me what knowledge they have
above the very basic skills and knowledge of climate scientists. How
for example does having a PhD help, if (as you appear to be saying)
all that is needed is basic data and a calculator? Basic data and a calculator climate scientists seem to be unaware of.
You and others do seem to suggest elsewhere that you have strong
evidence, that you can't reveal, that links most climate scientists
to career chasing, greed, and fraud.
To me, this all looks like a conspiracy theory.
