"Faith in science" is at best a grossly unreliable compass for those
who do not understand the methods and history of science, and the
impact of un- and anti-scientific influences on the practice of
science in the real world.
Faith in free inquiry unhindered by profit motivations is a better,
more reliable compass.
I'd like to point out here that the National Park Service was the
way the public initially was informed of global climate change when
an un-vetted--by-deniers memo to park managers leaked stating
(Paraphrase): 'As the climate continues to get warmer over the years
we should prepare for more summertime activities' a decade or more
ago.
