Kurzfassung:
In this work, Lynda Walsh argues that our science advisors manufacture certainty for us in the face of the unknown. Through a series of cases reaching from the Delphic oracle to 17th-century London to Climategate, Walsh elucidates many of the problems with our current science-advising system.
