First, many branches of science have always been inextricably tied to society. That's part of the point of doing (and publicly funding) science. Second, I honestly can't tell if you wrote "climate change (if it exists)" as a low-effort troll, or if you're actually on the fence about whether the climate is actually changing. Even the most willfully ignorant, contrarian AGW denier must admit that something is changing the climate, right?

> First, many branches of science have always been inextricably tied to society. That's part of the point of doing (and publicly funding) science Almost none of the branches of “science” tied to society and public policy are actually science. Almost in every are of policy, we are like Noah wandering lost through the desert. As to the parenthetical, I’m not questioning AGW. I’m questioning whether we have real efforts to avert climate change.
