Scientology uses the same arguments as the global warmists.

Director Alex Gibney’s explosive new documentary on Scientology, which opened theatrically in limited release on Friday and airs on HBO March 29, alleges many things the church is not happy about.
One of the allegations in “Going Clear” comes from former member, Mike Rinder, who, in an on-camera interview, discusses an area at one of the Scientology compounds supposedly called “The Hole,” where disobedient members are allegedly sent as punishment.
In an email to Business Insider, the church denies such a place even exists:
“This is another tired, false and offensive allegation. The only ‘hole’ at the Church property being referred to is on the golf course. This again sources to the same small group of liars. This false propaganda was exposed as a lie in our video…”
Rinder, who is prominently featured in Gibney’s film, even goes so far as to call Scientology’s leader, David Miscavige, a “sociopath.”
The church didn’t like that one, either, and in response slammed Rinder’s character, calling him a “tainted source.”
“The source for these allegations, and Gibney’s primary subject, Mike Rinder, is talking about himself. Mr. Gibney and now yourself, due to prejudice and bias, have obliged in revising history for self-admitted suborners of perjury, perjurers and obstructers of justice.[…]
Mr. Miscavige has been successfully leading the Scientology religion for more than a quarter of a century during which the Scientology religion has expanded faster in the last 10 years than in its previous 50 years combined. Scientology parishioners worldwide hold him in the highest esteem for what he is doing for the religion.”
