The gist of the article appears to be that the very community that backed away from true scientific methodds - the global warming crowd - now bleats about the fact that people no longer trust their methodology - after all, consensus is just as valid as science, right?
I have a longstanding joke about “latest medical science”. It goes something like this: “Latest medical science shows that previous medical science was completely wrong about...” Consider the ‘consesus’ about the egg - good food or bad? Looming ice age, or global warming?
Add in the deliberate dumbing down of the American people, and you have a recipe for disdain.
Until scientists get back into the business of serving the truth (as in: scientific fact, not theory/hypothesis dressed up to garner grants), I have little sympathy for them. Science fiction, to many of the scientifically illiterate, is a more realistic picture than the visions currently being painted by some scientists.
