The movie "The Martian" "global warming" and Slate.com Back to Slate—which with one exception seems to be the epicenter for this sort of thing—and we find Rachel Gross lecturing us that “when it comes to how science and scientists actually work, the film falls short.” In the grand cinematic tradition, it elides the process of science, distilling it into a series of “aha” moments and “Eurekas!” In reality, of course, science is a long, stepwise process that rarely comes up with clear solutions; when it does, they’re almost always riddled with caveats and qualifications. A bunch of you just spit out your coffee, because you know there is one area where the folks at Slate have asked us to view science in precisely this way. Projections about the average global temperature 100 years from now are supposed to be so accurate we should reorganize our entire civilization around them, and this science is so thoroughly settled, without “caveats and qualifications,” that no skepticism is allowed. thefederalist.com
