"AGW is an example of the former, it took almost 100 years before computers became powerful enough to establish the theory."
You hit on the main problem with AGW. It's not the basic physics, it's the "multiplier" that comes out of computer models of a chaotic dynamic system, models that don't even account for the most powerful greenhouse gas. These models have so many parameters that curve fitting can be used to get any desired result. This is not what I would call "science" by any stretch of the imagination.
Whenever "science" feeds back into the political system there is little chance for anything but a corrupt result to come out. This was the case with the tobacco and drug industries where the corruption resulted in many people being killed. In comparison, the AGW scam has been relatively benign.
