Well I just don't believe that we should never question scientist or hold them to account when they are wrong. if anything this country places so much faith in them that we never talk about it when they make a bad call and if something is seen as having the support of a scientist anyone who says "Hey let's not take this for granted and do more research" is shouted down for daring to question a scientist. Never mind that scientists disagree on things all the time if a scientist says something you are not allowed to question it and if you do,then you are just an inbred moron who in on the payroll of the oil companies and the evil Christians and Republicans.
More and more news stories use phrases like "A scientist said" or "a scientific study proved" without going into any details beyond that like who said it beyond the fact it was a scientist or how the study was conducted or if anyone disagreed with the study. As if all you need to know is that someone calling themselves a scientist said it and you shouldn't have any other questions beyond that because they are perfect and can not be questioned.
It is getting to point where I am afraid that at some point in our life times scientists will be put in charge of defining what is and is not true and anyone who doesn't agree with them will lose rights such as voting or the right to free speech to make sure other people are not given incorrect information by these misguided and backwards people.
As for global warming unless we can get China and Mexico to cut down on their carbon footprint there is not a whole lot we can do. That is not to say there are not steps we can take in this country for one i think the government should ban private citizens from owning cars so that people will start using mass transit and there should be limits put on how much electricity each citizen is allowed to use in a day,and meat should be taxed so that people will eat vegetables which have a smaller carbon footprint and are healthier,then if we banned all forms of air travel we would be getting somewhere. All these things can be done by our government right now and they would set an example for the rest of the world to follow. Still being realistic it's both parties that would have a problem with these measures(Don't kid yourself the rich left uses just as much oil as the rich right and it's one reason I don't support either of them)and it would do little to help on a world wide scale unless other countries like China join in and they are unlikely to do this.
