It's not the fault of "science" in the abstract or even the fault of most scientists (who're sincere and open to debate and disagreement, and generally acknowledge the limits of their epistemic certainty). But there is clearly a faction of media and political institutions which wield "Science (TM)" as a cudgel to stifle public debate / opinions - and they aren't even doing it out of bad faith / political opportunism - they're doing it because they believe it's important to have the general public universally believe in established science "facts".
