What is your definition of politics? It appears to be very narrow to your own ends.
Politics (from Greek: ????t???, politiká, 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science.
It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and nonviolent, [1] or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation. [2] The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it.
A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Politics is exercised on a wide range of social levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through modern local governments, companies and institutions up to sovereign states, to the international level.
In modern nation states, people often form political parties to represent their ideas. Members of a party often agree to take the same position on many issues and agree to support the same changes to law and the same leaders. An election is usually a competition between different parties.
A political system is a framework which defines acceptable political methods within a society. The history of political thought can be traced back to early antiquity, with seminal works such as Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Politics in the West, and Confucius's political manuscripts and Chanakya's Arthashastra in the East.

Science has been corrupted by politicians to benefit themselves and other groups. Science is a process and is never closed. Humans know practically nothing about anything in science, yet politicians say the science is settled to their benefit. It is not.
The politicians have made CO2 a political problem, when it is a natural biological molecule that plants use to grow and fluourish. Plants make up more that 85% of all living organisms on earth. They want more CO2, not less. |
