Science? What about passion and strongly held belief?

It is a sad irony that the teaching of science in American schools is so unscientific. In a more rational world, children would learn about nature and a mode of inquiry—the scientific method—that would awaken them to the awe, fascination, and surprise that the universe should inspire. Instead, the chronic problems afflicting K–12 education and the growing politicization of science have pushed us ever further from that ideal.

Science has been misused and poorly taught for centuries.

Now we teach passion and strongly held belief and call it "climate science". There is, of course, real climate science and hopefully those engaged in it will eventually start calling out those who use strongly held belief wrapped in the sheep skin of science.
