"Why Politicized Science is Dangerous." If we were trying to start a space program today, the debate would be "is gravity real?", rather than "how much should we spend to overcome gravity?"

Only the right wing is politicizing science-lol.

When virtually all major atmospheric scientists (in the world!!) agree about global warming and its dangers and the right wing disputes it--TO AID THEIR PETROLEUM MASTERS, who is doing the politicizing?

And this is why so few scientists are Republicans. As you know only 6% are Republicans, 81% lean Democratic and 51% call themselves liberals - PEW poll.

"Michael Crichton on "Why Politicized Science is Dangerous." He should have taken his own advice by not politicizing climate science. I'll pass the word to koan.
