Science is not a community of scientific workers. It's an endeavor. Science is not a person, it doesn't say anything (as some halfwits are used to say). Science is practiced. And it can be practiced well or badly. The scientific community is full of quacks, halfwits and crooks. That's a natural thing in a human population. Vast majority of scientific workers are no geniuses, to put it mildly. Although they are obviously smarter than Wall Street hucksters or economists.
They can't be always taken seriously (wrong methodology, mistakes, cheats, etc), especially when they go outside their own realm and try to shape global policy.
● Nukers love their nuclear realm, like a mother loves her thuggish son (she will always say he is no danger, no matter what crime he commits). Nukers love their nuking, so they desperately cover up the dangers of it. They are afraid that the society will take away this toy from them. And they have the "progress, save the world" complex. They would nuke you in order to save you.
After the Chernobyl disaster, the nuclear engineers and even physicists claimed that it was a one-time accident, it can't happen again. Though, it did happen again in Fukushima, as it had to. Then the international clique of nukers denied for months if not years that the meltdown occurred, even though it's the basic knowledge that the meltdown must happen after losing cooling for less than a day.
