    If Biden knew anything about science he’d know neither Trump or any of his policies has impacted the environment in any measurable way in the last 4 years. But you know why fires are burning in CA? Arson and decades of irresponsible Forrest management. THATS actual science.

    Scientific American has been subtly (until now) watering down it long-deserved reputation for scientific integrity for years now. Many of their articles have subtle political bias added in, and some have been blatantly political, usually, but not always, with global warming as the foil. Disconcerting.

    If you're a scientist looking for government money you better be liberal or you may as well drive a cab.

    SA has 213 employees per google, not exactly a mob of people there, but good luck with all that.

    Of course a republican thinks anything related to science is a democratic hoax.

    Let's see.... the publisher/editor of Scientific American has endorsed Biden.
    The Police Unions have endorsed Trump.
    Oh my, what should I do?

    Of course a Republican thinks anything spewing left wing political propaganda is a left wing propaganda rag. Is that what you meant to say?? Because then you would have been correct.

    You really have a bad habit of twisting people's words around and completely missing their meaning. If it is intentional it is quite dishonest; if it is accidental you should really work on your reading comprehension.

    Nobody here has bashed science, so just stop that lie. People are bashing left wing propaganda, the politicization of "science", and the poor choice of combining science with politics which calls the credibility and impartiality of the "science" into question entirely.

    What's interesting about the article is it reads as an opinion piece and is more evidence of the politicization of science.

    Actually we respect science and it sickens us to see it politicized

    I don't understand.
    There were issues, man took actions to address those issues so they went away. And you think the science was bad? I don't get what you're getting at.

    Scientific American is not considered a left wing propaganda rag.

    No, they have outed themselves as political hacks, wanting their footprint on the government, its power and its money. Available for hire for politicians.

    My point is, the settled science crowd bounces around like a fart in a hot tin skillet.

    Not for 175 years they weren't..... then they got a new Editor this year, and just ran this highly politicized trash piece, like a left wing propaganda rag would publish, and which YOU started a thread about, so maybe keep up with your own thread?

    Any appearance of neutrality, independence, non-partisanship, or credibility SA may have had for the last 175 years was shot out of the water with this hyper partisan "endorsement" rant.

    I see. Does that go both ways? Is a publication that leans slightly right a right wing propaganda rag?

    Good point. Is there any mainstream publication that went from a professionally neutral position to a politicizing one for the right wing?

    People ignore the obvious. That there is more to "science" than climate change.

    You wouldn't care if God, Himself, commanded the world to vote for Biden, you'd make up some lame excuse, he's out of fashion, a voice from antiquity, no longer relevant, etc.

    Right?

    Of course I"m right.

    Your sacrilegious implication that God is a moron is offensive, but not surprising.

    No, that is not what I wrote, but what you wrote is that voting for Biden is moronic. I should think God would much prefer Biden over Trump, or at least Jesus would.
