Really? I wonder why funding for research in the sciences was at unprecedented high levels during the Bush administration?The only thing you've cleared up is providing more support for your myopic inanity. When real scientists push creationism in place of biological sciences and manipulate the scientific process to do so, you will have a point. But, as usual, you don't.
It wouldn't occur to most "real" scientists to push "magical creation" over evolutionary science, so your point doesn't make much sense.
However, I suspect your point is that you are trying to compare the science of "climate change" to right wingers pushing "mysticism" as real science. The difference is that "climate change" IS real science. We know the climate will change, whatever the agent of that change, it WILL change. It's inevitable. It's the nature of the earth.
So, a few scientists are found to be "lying" because they have an agenda. Oh well, it happens. How many Christians do that to support their case against the gays? How many right wingers do that to support a case against Obama with lies of "death panels" and "kill grandma"?
There is a right wing war on science in this country. It exists. Rather than demanding that funding be increased and the science of climate change legitimized so we know exactly what is happening, the right wants to throw scientists under the bus. Science had done a lot more for this country than the "occult" and will continue to do so. It's the "super-naturalists" that lead the charge against scientists. Of course, that is not in their best interests, but that's never stopped them before.
The Bush administration was leading the fight against science.
Thank God, they are gone.
Go figure.
With respect to the topic, the enemies of science are those who try to excuse the inexcusable.
