“The press still thinks [global warming] is controversial. So they find the 1% of the scientists and put them up as if they’re 50% of the research results. You in the public would have no idea that this is basically a done deal and that we’re on to other problems, because the journalists are trying to give it a 50/50 story. It’s not a 50/50 story. It’s not. Period.” Neil deGrasse Tyson, podcast interview (via dionthesocialist)

lay down the science seriously media Also education problems because people can't figure out the science themselves so they need to rely on the news which is making a non-controversy into a controversy also inaccessibility of science where journals cost a ton are written in ridiculous jargon and oh $35/article not addressed to the public but to their colleagues problems abound unfortunately
