Interesting reading. Anyone unaware of the open warfare by the right wing
against inconvenient science is living in a bubble. Science has often been
attacked by political extremism. There is a long history of attacks on
science from both the left and right wings of the political spectrum. But today
big corporate financing and the deep pockets of religious extremists among
the super rich are making attacks on science from the right far more
serious. Not only climate science and evolution but the scientific method itself
as revealed in a discovery institute memo, the infamous wedge doctrine
memo.
