I’m fine with people claiming that the science “changes” or theories have “changed” or are “incorrect” but it would be nice to have the same grace for people who might question some science. Now please don’t misunderstand me, with this old article from the Associated Press I’m not trying to disprove science, I’m not a science or global warming denier by any means. I want my children to grow up on a healthy planet. The main point I’m trying to make is that sometimes the science or “facts” the media forces upon us, we should be allowed to question.
