And no, I don't need to buy into the idea of climate change at all to take the contents of the article at face value.
Common sense is essentially how people think. Scientists are also people. If claims don't add up or data is missing to support a claim, common sense can be used to spot it.
Quantum mechanics say hello

how much evidence there is in the "there is no climate change" side?
"how much evidence there is in the "there is no climate change" side?"
Why are you bringing up "there is no climate change"? Nobody made such a claim. But even if there is climate change, not every article has to be taken at face value, and not every theory on how it comes about has to be automatically considered true.
No, I'm saying that common sense doesn't have any saying in science
Ah, you';re missing the point completely
Quantum mechanics has nothing to do with climate change, but the point is that your claim that common sense is important in science is false
"The simple truth is you've already made up your mind about climate change in general, and now you're just looking for tiny crumbs of evidence that researchers are slipping up somewhere, and criticizing anything that doesn't fit your notion of how this should play out. "
That exact line could be handed back to yourself, except that you are sucking up all evidence that confirms your point of view.
