But, by endeavoring to control it, these industries attack the very idea of scientific truth as far as the public is concerned. The battle for control of scientific information is often carried out through the manipulation of language. The words and ideas of their inventors are manipulated to make us wonder whether these researchers, NGOs, and environmental activists are not, in fact, the ones disseminating doubt through fake news?
