I think it also has a lot to do with politicians constantly saying “the science on this is settled” as a way to brow beat their political opponents. The scientific method dictates that “the science” is never settled. The scientific method is literally predicated on the idea that you should always question everything. Anyone who tells you to “not question the science” is obviously trying to deceive you.
