The need for skepticism, among and beyond scientists
While I agree with lbonnell that a scientific code of ethics would help in cases like this, the bigger problem it seems to me is an educational one (see also Disconnect between the scientific community and the public). We can and should find ways to constrain the public behavior of individual scientists but we need even more importantly to have a pubic which is appropriately skeptical of scientific claims of authority made by individuals.
