Scientists make mistakes as often as Economist writers do. I don't revere scientists i'm sorry.

  You don't need to revere them. However, you should expect that an expert in a given field has almost certainly considered and answered any question a non-expert can think up within 10 minutes of contemplation on the said field. If you can come up with a question that starts with, "Have they considered the possibility that .....?" the answer is almost certainly going to be yes. This is more so when talking about a large collection of experts. For instance, with the collections of all experts in climate science.

    The problem is that these experts tend to follow the money. They get grants to show warming, so they cook the data to show warming. This would be much more difficult in a hard science, but "climate science" is not chemistry or physics.

  Nobody is asking you to revere scientists, merely not to revere Economist writers.
