    The Assault On Science — And What You Can Do About It

    The measure of a civilized society should not just be how well it treats its least fortunate, but also how it treats a future it probably won’t live to see. Expect neither form of civilization in the near future. We were promised barbarism and we’re going to get it: denial of facts for the sake of profit, resentment-driven, anti-intellectual rage and vandalism directed against what actually made America great. Including science. Particularly science. I don’t think anyone has ever seen such a vindictive onslaught on science and the environment as Trump’s cabinet choices suggest. Most of the damage a new administration will do by ignoring the warnings of scientific evidence will happen after I am dead, but the child in this photo will suffer the consequences without doubt.

    • I'm not anti science nor am I pointing out a 'left'-'right' side, but science has been manipulated for so long. I'm surprise a 'Trump' hasn't come along sooner.mugwart
    • To further add I deeply agree with your first paragraph, its wrong what's going down & very scary but [insert prick politician] have long continued this.mugwart
