It's fair enough to state that Galileo, Brahe, Wegener, Copernicus, and the like were ahead of their time and overturned centuries' of religion-/ philosophy-based naivety. But comparing such early visionaries with Watts and Monckton et al, seems a tad optimistic; for Watts and Monckton to be correct, centuries' of mechanics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics (to name a few) would all need overturning, in one go... Global Warming Theory is not a stand-alone discipline...
