"Trust the science," say the media.
Polls show that fewer Americans do. There's good reason for that.
"They don't trust science because science is increasingly untrustworthy," says science writer Andrew Follet in my new video. "The only group that trusts science right now is Democrats."
Sixty-four percent of Democrats have "a great deal" of confidence in the scientific community, compared to 34% of Republicans.
Of course, true science -- using the scientific method -- is important. But that's not what much of "science" is these days.
Instead, today government science is misused by progressive politicians.
Example 1: Environmental activists want to limit commercial fishing. They want Congress to pass what they call the "Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act." It claims climate change is the "greatest threat to America's national security" and offers a dubious solution: close more of the ocean to commercial fishing.
The administration's deputy director of Climate, Jane Lubchenco, told Congress that a scientific paper concludes that closing more of the ocean can actually increase catches of fish.
Really? That doesn't seem logical.
It isn't. The paper was retracted. One scientist called its logic "biologically impossible."
Also, Lubchenco's didn't tell Congress that the paper was written by her brother-in-law! And edited by her!

“Science is facing a “reproducibility crisis” where more than two-thirds of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments, research suggests.”

Scientists Replicated 100 Psychology Studies, and Fewer Than Half Got the Same Results
The massive project shows that reproducibility problems plague even top scientific journals
HILARIOUS!

UNDERCOVER: Crowder Infiltrates “FAT STUDIES” Conference | Louder with Crowder
He's out this week. It'll be a couple days.
Science is currently transitioning into Religion.
“climate change is the “greatest threat to America’s national security”
No, it isn’t. Pound sand, EPA
Scientists who are paid by the government will get the results that the government pays them to get. The more corrupt the government, the more corrupt the science.
The one he did during the Women’s March (where the women were wearing the “pussy hats”) in Austin was also hilarious. He went as a “transgender female” and even interviewed Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis while in character.
Crowder is a genius.
Real science yes, pre-covid, pre-climate change I trust to an extent, but the crap that currently passes for $cience, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Science is currently transitioning into Religion.”
Ding-ding-ding, we have a winner!
Equating and conflating “physical science” with “political science” is the problem.
Science I trust; scientists? Not so much.
