If you think the pushback against GCC is bad, consider the life of Galileo.
His declaration that the earth was NOT the center of our solar system almost got him executed, since it contradicted passages in the Bible. He spent the rest of his life in exile for espousing (and proving) something that was true, but was roundly rejected by the church and therefore most of humanity.
Rejection of science is nothing new. It took 20 years to get the lead out of gasoline, although there were plenty of paid scientists to declare it was not harmful.
We accept the science we grew up with: earth is not 4000 years old, light travels really fast, the moon is not cheese, nobody lives on Mars, and space is really big. But somehow when we get older, science becomes a big debate and the noise gets really loud.
