as an add for why would people of authority or scientists make up something. Why have people ever told lies, to control, to hide an unwelcome truth, to make others seem stupid. I, in all may statements have provide links to  trusted sites/newspapers/ science websites backing up my claims. Many of these sites have further links. You have falied to back up your claims other than, government paid scientist said so, scientists are smart, why would smart people lie??? Truth be told, the only good liers are rich smart people bacause they are smart enough to get away with it, be gone the days of critical thinking says you! (if they ever existed)

in order to be informed people we must

1) Consider both arguements. No sperson is ever fully correct, we are often to blindsided by our own pre-formed opinion or the side we heard first.

2) Thinking for ourselves. To often people let the news, family, media, teachers an politicians do thinking for them. For example. If you are born into a family of racists, you are more likely to be racist, being born in Ireland or Sweden makes you more likely to be Socialist then somebody who would be born in the USA or S.Korea whowould be more likely to be Capitalist. Just because you are constantly exposed to an idea or people who agree with an idea doesn't make it right.

3)Examine your own opinion. How did you form it, who influenced it and are they credible? How do you know they are credible? Because somebody else told you or you investigated and they seemed trustworthy.

4)People change, society changes. Just because you have an opinion now doen't mean you will hold it forever. You may think something is right or politicaly correct now but your grand kids in the future may say "You can't say things like that!" or people may call you stupid, ignorant, ill-informed or even a bigot for something that would be normal or `proven scientifically` today
