Conspiracy theories do not equal scientific skepticism.

Scientific skepticism (also spelled scepticism) is the practice of questioning whether claims are supported by empirical research and have reproducibility,

Any scientific theory must be open to skepticism otherwise the scientific process breaks down.
As for evidence I don't ignore any. It is you and people like you who ignore evidence that runs counter to your beliefs and agendas. Evidence does not equal proof or fact. As long as there is evidence out there that counters the "popular" evidence then nothing is settled and doubt of all of the alarmist claims remains valid.
