The Union of Concerned Scientists exists for the sole purpose of politicizing science.

I think a giggle alert would have been sufficient!

This article is only missing three things.
a) Barf Alert.
b) Rim Shot.
c) Laugh Track.

The Union of Concerned Scientists exists for the sole purpose of politicizing science. LOL, exactly my thoughts. What a bunch of hypocrites. The sad truth is though, that science is way too politicized by the scientists. We expect politicians to politicize everything, but science today is largely driven by scientists with a political agenda. Take the global warming crowd.....please.

Ho hum, the usual suspects of liberal academics making their usual sniping attacks on a Republican administration in an election year. Next we will probably start hearing about the "Countdown to Armageddon" clock or whatever they call it that only seems to pop up in election years involving a Republican incumbent.

Weren't they worried about global cooling about 25 years ago ?

Notice that this "unbiased, unpolitical" news "report" merely summarizes and repeats what the "unpolitical" UCS lies about and exaggerates as THEY try to defeat Bush politically for completely biased and idealogical reasons?
But the liberal science community in the EPA and anti-nuclear, anti-big business UCS has never lied or exaggerated, has it?

Thank you so much for the ping!
IMHO, science is at a important crossroad. On the one hand, there are many scientists who eschew all attempts to bring ideology and politics to the table. On the other hand, there are many scientists who do just that.
To: Roos_Girl
Never trust anything published by a union.
