Yea, because physical science is never funded by anyone with an agenda...

That's at least what the American Petroleum Institute, the Tobacco Institute, the Beverage Institute, etc. tell us about climate change, smoking, and sugary drinks...

You kind of prove the point previous person is trying to make. Hard science proved the tobacco leads to cancer, Social Sciences helped Tobacco companies get highest ESG ratings.

Climate change is another of "not really science" fields mostly peddled by social sciences.

Huh? API, Tobacco all do Social Science. You are actually kind of proving my point.
They all fund fake hard science research.
The "fake" part mostly comes from the "social science" aspect.
I assure you that physical research includes questions like whether climate change is happening, smoking causes cancer, and excess sugar causes diabetes haha.
