So you really believe it. The Great Conspiracy is Silencing the Seekers After
Truth!

No conspiracy needed, just observation. A scientist who sees what happens to
others who try to publish disproving research is not going to be inclined to
try it himself. The rest of them just know that their grants depend on
supporting the concept.

You need to check the crowds you're running with.

I don't believe in guilt by association.

Nobody is right 100% of the time.
Only when they agree with you, right?

I'm not right 100% of the time, either. OTOH, when I see scientists
excommunicated (and I use that word quite deliberately) for daring to
publish in opposition to the idea that man is somehow wrecking the global
climate, my hackles go up.
