as far as I am aware, nobody here is claiming anyone is not allowed to have an opinion on science, even if it is based on science-ignorance.
You have an opinion on science based on ignorance for you obviously haven't studied it properly at higher education while I have. Thus your own assertions that imply I am not qualified applies far more to you than to me so if I am not qualified to have an opinion on it then certainly you are not! That makes you a massive hypocrite for implying I shouldn't have an option on it when you do despite your greater ignorance.
if you are now arguing that Freeman Dyson is both better qualified than me to have an opinion on GW (which he is although he has some opinions contrary to those better qualified than himself) then he surely will be better qualified than YOU to have an opinion on GW (you have no science credentials while I do) and yet, although he has the opinion that climate models are 'unreliable', he disagrees with your science ignorant opinion that man isn't the cause of GW;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_Dyson
Dyson AGREES that anthropogenic global warming exists, and has written that "[one] of the main causes of warming is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from our burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal and natural gas." (my emphasis)
So, he AGREES with me that there is man made GW and thus DISAGREES with you on this; he is better qualified than you to have an opinion on this than you are. So how can you argue climate BOTH models are 'unreliable' because he has a quaffed opinion that they are AND there is no man made GW despite his qualified opinion that there is man made GW? You cannot have it both ways; if you are using his option that climate models are unreliable as evidence that climate models are unreliable, then, by your same 'logic', his opinion that there is man made GW must be evidence that there is man made GW.
