Polski, I think there is also a growing divide between scientific understanding and how it is communicated to the people. The incredible detail that scientific research has reached that it is almost impossible to view as a whole or is of any use. Every report has counter reports, the detail involved has to be summarised to the point of irrelevance so policy makers and the public can understand it, science and research can be bought. It is almost the more perfect the information becomes the less useful it becomes as a decision making tool, which is the ultimate role of science. The science becomes more complex, so do the answers so soon it is as complex as what we are studying and just as confusing.

It is also very perplexing as to why we rarely see genuine debate where skeptics and believers get in a room and go for it.
