Arrogance and hypocracy if perceived cause folk to lose faith.
Reality is only a perception humans manufacture and their perception can be flawed or manipulated...
If science is having a problem I suggest it is vested interests who are responsible for the manipulation of the publics perception.
One particular scientific debate having spilled over into politics means that scientists become mere pawns in a much bigger game...
The politics leave scientists in a most difficult position...
Their evidence and reports are presented by politicians with an arrogance of infalibility which I doubt any true scientist would claim...those against react to the arrogance of the presentation which appears as a rejection of the science in total...
Then the hypocracy... politicians see problems as opportunity for votes rather than actually providing a fix... the hypocracy (on both sides)surrounding the management of the percieved climate problem by politics is clear... but finally it all comes back to the poor scientist who simply did his job ..researched etc... so incorrectly the science is seen as hypocritical rather than the politics.
On the positive real science can take examination and review ..emotion is irrelevent ..
AND why is this show on anyways... one side or the other has caused it to be so... we will come away with a perception of reality created by the producers of this show... it will be interesting to see if they are grinding anyones axe in particular...
Will it change minds..I doubt it..each side will select the parts suitable to their current stand.
