It turns out the word "science" is related to the word "shit". This may or may not be surprising, until you dig deep in the etymology of both words and find out the fundamental concept is that of "separation".
Whenever I hear someone talk about "the science", I think of the "lesser-than" symbol ("<"), which serves to separate numbers. Then I do a mental substitution, so that this nice lady would be saying something like, "We own the lesser-than symbol on climate change."
Sounds like a lunatic, right? If you use the technique I described you'll find that we're dealing with lots and lots and lots of lunatics.
Own the science?
Patents, in regards to science, probably.
But not actual science.
