Too much data. Too little information. When data acquisition becomes easier and cheaper, you are flooded with data.

And global warming

But the brains to sift through that data and find some useful information is a rare commodity. The cost of acquiring and storing data has got very cheap. Thus you can have a lot of data but very little capacity of analyzing it.

Once you let that data tsunami flow in the hands of the not very endowed with brains and experience, you get tons of wrong conclusions. All of the 'scientifically' proved.

But there is more. Clever guys in the background use that misinformation for their own advantage.

A diesel engine maker may use it for his marketing, another manufacturing of certain materials, politicians’ uses for their cases and so on.

That's what we are seeing today. Scientist? Where are they, you maybe asking? Well, they go with the flow and ask for more money since the results of research are inconclusive.
