People still build houses on flood plains too, that doesn’t mean they don’t still flood.
People buy them with no research and the companies care that they can sell units.
That’s not an argument.

and there’s no thing like “the science”. There are many, many scientists and findings in a given area. You should never do what Gore did and look at one single finding and see it as the absolute truth. You need to look at the big picture, at meta analyses over hundreds of findings to get to get close to some kind of “core truth”.
You aren’t disproving science as a whole by showing a scientist was wrong once.
