"A politically motivated, decades-long war on expertise has eroded the popular consensus on a wide variety of scientifically validated topics."How political are they? First of all, in science there is no "popular consensus". You either can proof your theory or you can't. (That is why Evolution is still a theory.) So, since there is no proof that there is a global warming there is no Global Warming. Even after Al Gore tells us that there is a consensus among self appointed "experts".
Volt, by GM, is not a popular car even after all Popular Science editors claim it is (and they reached a consensus).
I suspect that many people commented on their bogus claims and they didn't like that.
