Do you have any ideas on what caused the current anti-scientific mindset that is particularly prevalent in the US?

Maybe this is a case of Occam's razor but with the wrong outcome. Science has become exceedingly complex and it usually takes an investment of time and effort to understand what's behind our understanding of the world. In many minds, the simplest answer may be the outrageous conspiracy theory or worse, a religious explanation. Do you anticipate that the pendulum will swing back to trusting scientific findings in time to save us from ecological collapse?
