We are seeing a similar 'crowding-in' effect with the science behind climate volatility - every uneducated laymen is developing an opinion and this same populist mass of people is perpetuating catch-phrases and misinformation.
Im not saying that people should not be concerned with the Global climate - but one must keep their objectivity - because the mass spreads information based on fear and ignorance with little regard for level headed thought.

I have to agree in some respects - that is a trend.
Then at what point do you say - well, this is more than that?
Is there a point where you say its "50/50 among the mad scientists now" we should trust 'X'?
It seems to me that even the idiot 'Bush' has conceded that there may be a problem.
It amazes me that you Americans will bitch and moan about how much you dont trust your goverment and at the same time feed off all the shit you are fed every day.
