Neon summarized it best: we don't have a problem with accountability.

Not with me anyway. Indeed, we've been gathering research and evidence about climate change since the 1980s. There are literally thousands of papers and studies published out there that support it in at least some form or another. Even if this one instance were discredited as fraudulent, the deniers still have to tackle all these other papers and studies the scientific community has published.

Over half the public believes that evolution could not have happened, that divine intervention must have been required, despite the contradictory articles of evidence produced from studies, some being nearly 130 years old.

"Despite enjoying strong support in the scientific community, a vast majority of the public remains skeptical over Darwinian evolution: in a 2006 Gallup poll, only 13 percent of those surveyed said that they believed humans evolved on earth with no help whatsoever from a creator."
If they're ignorant about the subject and yet they still comment on it anyway, then their opinions are not worth a damn. Because they have no idea what they're talking about. The public too often ignores all the wonderful tools science has created for them to use- like antibiotics, cars, cell phones, COMPUTERS, THE INTERNET, aircraft, ships, new medical techniques and practices- I don't think I really need to go on in strenuous detail.
