We have oceans of data around a lot of things that supposedly scientific-minded people prefer to ignore.
There's also the fact that agenda-based science (not saying that's what this is) can easily produce an ocean of data, e.g., showing that tobacco doesn't cause lung cancer.
EDIT: To the downvoters, I shouldn't have used "Big Tobacco". I would prefer not to name other areas of research to try and keep this non-political. I am only pointing out that data and its interpretation are two very different things, and the incentives matter.

- Retric 9y agoBig Tobacco never actually had data preventing the link from cancer to tobacco. They simply did not publish their studies and required more data to prove the link, because it 'required more research'. Basically, the same issue people bring up with climate science, while never defining what 'enough data' is other than simply more than we have.
