You just have to be careful not to reject all scientists. When I listen to my neighbor he rejects all climate science (because they all have an agenda) but trusts the deniers who are a very loud, very small minority. This make no sense.

Human psychology. Negative statements are given greater weight. You neighbor is happily living in the matrix and sees no need to observe reality with objective reason when the negative pundits give him regular doses of satisfying outrage to feel good about.
