I am 100% behind this affirmation, we have been historically bitten times and times again by blind trust in "renowed experts", and while I trust most of them om their fields of expertise, saying we should ritualistically let them be up and front on any societal issue by "trusting the science" is very naive. Case in point: no more public debate on energy policies, because experts have made it a battlefield.

It's unfortunate. This would be so easy to fix, too, just tax carbon as it comes out of the ground and let the market sort out the rest. Let the best technologies win.
