    A lot of the confusion about climate change can be traced to people’s understanding of the role of theory in sciencehttp://nyer.cm/IitEXe9

        How does NASA gets those rockets flying if this fine piece on science's basics does "not reflect the policy of NASA"?

        the word "theory" is not clear enough to most. Too many conflate scientific theory with opinion.

        but mostly it's because anecdotal is more convincing than statistical. When it starts hitting home, there will be conviction.

        @nkmccallum Very hard to separate the Consensus, Theory, and fact where billion $ industry is involved and debate is taboo

        low balling. Oil industry is more a trillion $ industry. Debate isn't taboo; it's outweighed

        more of it can be attributed to money in politics

        No. People's misunderstanding of what a scientific theory is. A difficulty compounded by cynical, deliberate misinformation.

        sorry, but causation is still a theory,not a fact. It might be the best theory we have right now,but to claim it fact-not science

        Where is the US education system? Not teaching about scientific hypotheses and theories, apparently.
