Misfeasance... and whores.
I don't know what else you CAN call it, when you see a politician directing the "scientists", while telling them what the results of "the science" have to be... in order to sustain their funding.
Simply the fact that relationship is apparent... provides a proof that $ and "the team" matter more than the proper conduct or the honest result of actual science.
It is simple corruption conducted on a massive scale... to apply science fraud as a policy tool.
The politicians know we don't, can't, and shouldn't trust them... so they're "re-branding" their totalitarianism by co-opting the brand of "science"... because people still trust it.
"I don't think environmentalists are promoting the scam on purpose."
Of course they are. But, "environmentalism" isn't a construct based in realism or on "caring for the environment"... rather than one based in POLITICS, first, that has at its core a POLITICAL construct, not anything formed by reason. It is "policy requirements" (of particular political interests) that drive the need for creating the belief that is structured, not the rational development of a set of beliefs, which then drives the development of policy. It's simply a cabal of politicians who have developed an ego based form of marketing, that intends to enable its victims in feeling good about themselves by subscribing to a political identity.
The fraud is based on the political... claiming, first, that those who agree with us are the only ones that care... and people who disagree with us... "don't care"... so, we can validate ignoring their opinions, marginalizing them, putting them in concentration camps, killing them, etc. There is nothing new, here.
Otherwise, you are exactly correct that there are cadres of dupes operating on blind faith while gladly following the false Gods that have been created for them... which is the sort of stupidity that enables converting "caring" more than others into a need to kill others in order to care for them properly.
"Science" as it is operated, in this construct, is not about reason, but is operated as a religion, fully dependent on the ignorance of believers being paired with blind faith... to enable advancing the power of a religion in which the politicians can re-write the doctrines and the core beliefs of the faith... at their whim.
The irony, of course, is that real science IS based in reason... and what this process does is convert people's excess faith in reason... into a tool that has them believing in anything... (perhaps even including that "Coke Cares"?)
Reason is still a sound enough concept... but, it has never been the case that it is infallible... because the operators of the process are the weak link.
It is also still fact that most people aren't ever overly capable of reasoning correctly, while another significant portion of the population are deliberate liars... who believe that enabling themselves in having power... is an more than adequate reason to justify telling lies...
All of the people, some of the time... Some of the people, all of the time...
And, what we're talking about is merely the purposeful method in which the last influences the first. |
