Conspiracy myths, fake news, "alternative facts" - scientific findings are increasingly being deliberately attacked and turned into their opposite. This hostility to science is particularly evident in the example of climate change: although the overwhelming majority of scientists confirm that climate change is man-made, self-proclaimed "climate skeptics" try to cast doubt on research and prevent climate protection measures. In Thuringia, too, there are regular protests against the construction of wind turbines - some of them supported by the AfD. What are the dangers of anti-science? And how can these efforts be countered?
