They haven't done so well with Dark Matter. But the scientist aren't the problem, it's the people who want to weld climate change to social change.
Corporations aren't people and money isn't speech. Everything else in consequent.

When I see 261-million Lightyears on the road in the USA,then you have a case.
Remember,climate is limited to 17-kilometers above sea-level.
As to dark matter,whether it exists or not would have no bearing on climate change.The universe is oblivious as to whether humans understand the cosmos or not.What's out there or not,is not affected by out knowledge of it or lack thereof.
Corporations have been 'persons' since 1886,as ruled by the Supreme Court,under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
Money is speech,as with it,you can purchase access to 'We the People',through a myriad channels.You can purchase radio networks.Television networks.Newspaper networks.Publishing infrastructure.Found Institutes,Think tanks.Purchase local,county,state,and federal legislators.Appoint justices.Appoint committee members.Appoint election committee members.Establish internet websites.Produce motion pictures.Political attack ads.Opinion-Editorials.Lobbyists.Campaign finance.Dark money.PACs.
In a rule-of-law nation,where representative government sets policy,the only way one can affect policy,is to be within the political arena.
Anyone interested in protecting the environment would be impelled by necessity,to be active in the political arena.It's obviously no guarantee that anything would actually ever change,but it would one of the few mechanisms available to alter business as usual.
What I'm seeing in the denial community has nothing to do with the science of climate change,but rather the implications and ramifications to investors,should a majority of the population ever agree to act on the science.It's completely reactionary,fear-based behavior.
