I mean, the flat-earth, anti-vax, climate-denier folks are well and cottoned. In the US, one of the major political parties what controls a fair amount of federal and state legislature seats is pretty sure 'scientists' are just liars and should be treated as such.

These chickens aren't going to come home to roost, they are roosting and their chicks are hatching already.

In a thread where the topic is “lots of science might be wrong” your take away is “doesn’t matter, everything is republican’s fault” and not “we should slow on using complex non-reproducible science to drive public policy because we know lots can’t be confirmed and there is no great way to tell what is definite“ ... well I suppose you demonstrated why it’s a “crisis”.
