大多数民主国家寻求科学家的意见，为政策提供信息。这可能会让科学家处于严密审查的境地。在这里，我们关注的是科学证据与人们的世界观、偏好或既得利益相冲突的情况。这些冲突经常通过有系统地传播虚假信息或传播阴谋论来表现，这可能会破坏公众对科学家工作的信任，搅乱构成真理的水域，并可能阻止最佳可用证据为政策提供信息。然而，也有因合法的价值判断和生活经验而引起公众反对的情况。在这篇文章中，我们分析了出于政治动机的科学否认和正当的公众反对之间的区别。最后，我们提出了一系列建议，以处理错误信息和了解公众的亲身经历，以维护合法的民主政策辩论。
Most democracies seek input from scientists to inform policies. This can put scientists in a position of intense scrutiny. Here we focus on situations in which scientific evidence conflicts with people’s worldviews, preferences, or vested interests. These conflicts frequently play out through systematic dissemination of disinformation or the spreading of conspiracy theories, which may undermine the public’s trust in the work of scientists, muddy the waters of what constitutes truth, and may prevent policy from being informed by the best available evidence. However, there are also instances in which public opposition arises from legitimate value judgments and lived experiences. In this article, we analyze the differences between politically-motivated science denial on the one hand, and justifiable public opposition on the other. We conclude with a set of recommendations on tackling misinformation and understanding the public’s lived experiences to preserve legitimate democratic debate of policy.
