Reddit Science Forum Has Been Banning Climate Change Denialism

The site that bills itself as “the front page of the Internet” has a forum that bans some submissions and comments of those skeptical of man-made global climate change.

Forums on Reddit frequently include rules for comments and posting established by moderators. While the /r/science forum — referred to as a “subreddit” — does not appear to specifically ban climate skepticism as a whole, it does say comments must be “on-topic and relevant.” Submissions to the forum, which are approved by moderators, must be peer-reviewed research or based on recent scientific research, and “not editorialized, sensationalized or biased,” among other requirements.

If global warming was indeed based on "real science" shouldn't these wacko Leftist be welcoming discussion and different ideas to their theories and not trying to censor this information and ideas from others?

Apparently not, because it is not real science, it's Marxist BS and we all know that censorship is always part of the equation.
