Science is powerful and the current, most respected “final authority.” It used to be the church, and that was when clergy got highly politicized as well. And with politicization comes money, with money and special interests come corruption, it picks away at the credibility of an institution. As far as climate change is concerned I don’t think it’s the science and objective findings that are contentious, but rather the interpretation and reaction on part of the media, which is then projected onto science itself.
