Lies, Damn Lies, and Science

摘要

Conspiratorial thinking is a major element in the rejection of a broad range of scientific findings, from climate change to tobacco, vaccinations, GM foods and the moon landing.But why? Prince Phillip runs the world drug trade, the 9/11 attacks in the US were an "inside job" of the Bush administration, and US President Barak Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate is a forgery. Oh, and climate change is a hoax perpetrated by corrupt scientists who just want more government grant money.
