"Science" is so full of grifters and bullshit that I'm not surprised flat-earthism is flourishing.

"Scientists", media, politicians, etc... today: I've created an artificial intelligence!!!

"Scientists", media, politicians, etc... today: We found a bacteria (or whatever the fuck) that might solve ~~global warming~~ some climate issues that maybe don't exist!!!

Actual scientists: The planet is literally being destroyed. Primarily by cars.

People: I don't know what to believe.

Yeah there’s a problem with how science is portrayed to the general population. Most science is ”boring”. People want to hear about aliens, time travel and parallel universes.

Graphs showing that we should cut down our meat consumption is boring.

Stories about how a secret world state (possibly extradimensional lizards) is hiding a big ice wall from us is exciting.
