Scientific American refers to “science” as if it were an individual or some sort of hive mind, and says that occasionally it gets something wrong and later self-corrects.
Sometimes Science Is Wrong – Scientific American
This is quite a different view from journal editors who say half of peer-reviewed papers are fake.

There was never anything wrong with “science.” Biden said he “listens to the scientists” – which means he listens to political hacks like Fauci and ignores actual scientists like Sucharit Bhakdi. I watched a video he made during March 2020 and realized that the response being made by government made no sense.
Consensus science isn’t self-correcting.
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
– Max Planck
There was never any reason to believe that the meteorite in 1996 had evidence of life. It was the usual case of NASA lying for attention and money.

There was a time when Scientific American told the truth about CO2 – but that was over 100 years ago.
“Fertilizing the air with carbon dioxide to promote plant growth
ONE of the principal constituents making up the body of a plant is carbon, representing about one-half of its organic substance. The opinion that this carbon is derived from the soil has long been abandoned, modern investigation having shown atmospheric carbonic acid to be absorbed by means 0f the chlorophyll 0r green matter of the leaves and decomposed into its elements, the carbon, in conjunction with the root sap and atmospheric m0isture, being worked into organic compounds.
Whereas atmospheric air at present is relatively poor in carb0nic acid, of which it contains only about .03 per cent, at an early period in the development of our planet, when this was covered with the luxuriant forests our coal deposits are derived from, it comprised incomparably greater quantities of this gas. This fact suggested the idea of heightening the fertility of the soil by increasing its carbonic acid content and thus producing conditions resembling those of antediluvian ages.”
