Science is agnostic as too results; it is society and politicians who make decisions on what to do with those results. Sometimes you think your presuppostional position is backed, and sometimes you feel you need to rail against it because your economic or hobby interests require curtailment or adjustments because of what the science shows.
Trying to destroy or question the science on a topic is a non-starter. Let the scientists do that - that is what peer review is all about. How to deal with issues that science points out is the debate, the economical one, the political one and the societal one.
You and I are probably on the same side if we start talking about the disaster that the NDP carbon tax is, and probably for similar reasons. You and I are obviously not on the same track on how science acts.
