I'm not sure how one can answer this, but it is important to point out that when one gets their opinion of "science" from TV, it's the TV agenda that's being followed not the scientific one. Far too often, the technical person's "we have to be worried about x, because of y and z assuming the model is correct" becomes "x will kill us". When more is learned, they say the scientists lied... Nope, just those profiting from the confusion.
