>Perhaps this "war on science", however naive and inarticulate its proponents, is actually a war on the abuses of technology, such as the parent describes. No, like in the case of global climate change, the war on science is to enable the abuses of technology, not eliminate it. And that is true for many other cases. In other cases like evolution and the age of the universe, the motivation is religious, not the abuses of technology. I have read recently that this true for many of the flat-earthers. I am rather puzzled that you seem to be unaware of the various motivations involved.
