I have a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M and I work for a defense contractor.

Having said that, science is in a crisis.

When we get to the point where many scientists think it’s OK to lie and cheat about research, that’s a crisis.

I know that the climate “scientists” are promoting pseudoscience. But I have a question, do you really have a degree in nuclear engineering?

>> but let’s see how many FReepers use this as an opportunity to bash science.

Would that depend on how many FReepers you’re trying to bash?

Many of course; ergo, the crisis.
