The SCIENCE was in by the mid-seventies. Since then, we've been gathering data, filling in details, tweaking models, and dealing with the fact that most SCIENTISTS don't change their opinions, just die off and let the young teach the new paradigm.

Of course, we lie equally badly about other subjects. Teen sexuality and "abstinence". Legal vs. illegal drugs. Aging and death. Pollution and behavior. Fertility rates worldwide. The "liberal-conservative" dichotomy. The neurological effects of media on children. Why NOT lie about climate disruption?
