[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 140532, member: 617"] That could be because there's a fair bit of emotional rant in there. Accusing NSF of funding biased studies doesnt make much sense given the elaborate process and how much time and effort it would take to be politically selective in that environment. Also, given the accusation is as substantive as 'teh feds fund stuff too!' I think its less an argument than a 'can I get an amen?' From a choir that already has decided that anything government is lies. Also, for a scientist to refuse to acknowledge the history of industry subverting science (prominent in, among other places, 4lead in gasoline and cancer from cigarettes) seems suspicious. Thats basic, every STEM ethics course stuff. My second point is that im disappointed in Republican politicians for taking easy 'there is no warning' viewpoints instead of advocating for infrastructure that can put America back into a decade of growth. Consider this: China is fine with people literally choking to death and swimming in pollution. Why would they do anything about a much less pressing pollution unless they saw economic growth in doing so? So... yeah. Rant over, I guess? [/QUOTE]
