Meh. Some people act like anybody who has ever called themselves a "Scientist" has never been wrong or that mainstream science has never been wrong. It has. Many, many times.

Unless you're taking the time to do the science yourself and verify the results - you could be getting lied to or otherwise misinformed. Do you ever actually do that or do you generally just trust people who call themselves a scientist and who are trusted by other so-called scientists?

This article is also a bullshit piece of propaganda that is going on attack because somebody in the White House wrote a 7 paragraph energy plan summary that didn't include their favorite word. The plan clearly states that "Lastly, our need for energy must go hand-in-hand with responsible stewardship of the environment." and last time I checked the "climate" is part of our environment.

Do you really think that Science as an institution is incorruptible?

It's self correcting. That's the point. When it is wrong scientists admit it, and use those examples as case studies for future generations.

...in a perfect world.

I got some news for you: this world ain't perfect.

[j2kun]

In the actual world, though. This is why we don't perform lobotomies or think atoms are a plum pudding.

[WayneBro]

Incorrect. "Science" is the reason why we had things like lobotomies in the first place.

Your entire arguments rests on a "No true Scotsman"-like logical fallacy.

[j2kun]

I'll reiterate my point: science is not immune from mistakes (nobody is arguing that), but in general, it tends to correct those mistakes over time.

[WayneBro]

There is no science without people though...and people are not immune from mistakes.
