'Religious Science' is all the rage these days. This is weird shit promoted by influencers, based on a whim, and celebrity support. One group can be quite upset, if another group comes along. Everything is promoted by making things up and yelling a lot.
You can list various things like 'Creation Science', 'Climate Science', etc. It's all the same. They all kill a large number of people.
I got into all this with earthquakes. There was never a weirder bunch of weirdos than 'earthquake predictors'. All wrong in the end. Now the world is getting colder, and our clange bunch don't realize they are dead.
The best parallel to earthquakes is now the flash flood. Happens every hundred years in any given area, something like tornadoes which are also earthquakes. Society can handle this. It requires the Scientific Method which has been forgotten in most things.
As I have done with weather, you must get into the basic physics of all these things. They follow Binomial Theorem. For example, the west coast goes all nuts about tsunamis, which are rarer than flash floods. They look at the basic physics. They don't blame 'vague concepts'. They can have early warning, sirens, and quick routes to the high ground. The standard influencer thing is to run around screaming and waving your hands. There is so much money in creating needless anxiety.
ps Texas is working up an M8 earthquake, slab houses with no storm shelters, and this.
