OK, for those of you out there who deny AGW, who are agnostic about AGW, or who have friends who are AGW deniers, yet who 'love' science, here's a challenge.
Name for me an issue in which you had a vested corporate interest on one side promoting one view point and the majority of the scientific community on the other, in which the majority of the scientific community proved to be wrong?
AGW deniers that 'love' science can find plenty of examples of mainstream science getting it wrong, because getting it wrong is part of science.
But can you find where corporations are on one side, and science on the other, in which science got it wrong?
I know I can find plenty where science was right. Specifically, I'm thinking of Tobacco.
But let's go farther:
Can you find such an example in the western world? In the last 50 years?
I'm willing to bet you can't.
Update: Bonus points if you can find one where Mainstream science has had the opinion for 40 or so+ years.
Qualifier: To be 'wrong' mainstream science has to actually change its opinion, like it did with Ether.
