I hope you’re not suggesting that climate science shouldn’t be trusted.
I’m saying that blind faith in any science leaves one vulnerable. It is a bureaucratic labyrinth of conflicting human interests, and far from the pure philosophical ideal of pursuing knowledge and truth.
That is true for basicly everything humans ever touched. Humans are just not perfect, so you have to look at their personal intrest. Fortunatly science tends to attract a fairly large group of people actually intressted in studying the subject and not too much about personal gain. That is combined with a culture of testing ideas, which make faking more difficult, but not impossible. What I want to say is that science tends to be among the most accurate systems we have, certainly better then politicans or capitalists.
