Once upon a time I had great respect for scientists.
A combination of the global warming crap claiming to be scientific, and personally knowing some absolute flunkies that claim to be scientists, I now know better.
There's still plenty of fine scientists worthy of your respect. The problem is their voices have been drowned out by the government-university-media complex that's hell-bent on tearing down real scientific data and replacing it with one-world junk-science Marxist swill. A deliberately dumbed-down public and a couple of generations of academic indoctrination have made their subversive task much easier.
