Yet scientists are quick to assert that the current conclusions are totally correct. Scientists do tend to have this god like opinion of themselves.
"Scientist" is the most overused term of the decade. We use the word to elevate a technical specialist to godhood. When a Botanist talks about Climate Change, they call him a scientist in order to add credibility. They are just specialists in a field of study, and the media usually is talking to the wrong specialist when discussing climate change.

Nope. Not even close. That goes to either "Discrimination" "Hate" "Prejudice" or "Rights".
