war against science
I'm not familiar with that war. Is it "outlawing stem cell research", when all he did was say we wouldn't use federal tax dollars to do it? Or is it not toeing the line as far as Kiyoto, because "all scientists agree the end is near if we don't"? Refresh my memory as to this "war against science"? I'm interested.
- Achorny 17y ago1) They banned using ANY equipment or resources payed for with ANY federal dollars in stem cell research (and very strictly enforced it). Since many labs have to share equipment between projects, this effectively banned most stem cell research. 2) They had direct ties to the Discovery Institute, the main force behind the Intelligent Design Creationism pseudoscience movement. 3) And whether or not there's a vast pro-AGW conspiracy, that doesn't excuse interfering with publication of climate science from NASA. And that's just off the top of my head, fortunately I haven't thought about this in a while.
