Anti-science activists can be very destructive when they get their way. Groups like Greenpeace attack innovations, sometimes literally, in biotechnology and energy production and millions of people suffer as a result, especially in the developing world. This is evident in Uganda, where the government continues to debate a GMO safety bill this week as beatable agricultural diseases ravage crops.
Science literacy is the obvious antidote to policies that disregard evidence, but theres an important precursor to implementing it: economic freedom. A free society creates an environment where science can flourish. So if we want to spread science literacy around the world, we may first have to encourage poor countries to embrace ideas like individual liberty and free markets.

Amen my scientific brother.
Except for that whole “DDT is killing that bald eagles” thing awhile back. Apparently junk science no match for malaria.
As long as we stick to science that is firmly grounded in mathematics and physics, all is well.
Thanks for posting.
Cameron English is a science idiot. A 10 minute internet search supports that statement.
Furthermore, he is a climate alarmist.
He has no credentials and is a freelance writer living in California. He is an opinionated blowhard with hypocritical views on health & climate. Despite his denials, he is part of the Monsanto pro-GMO propaganda network. Read up.
Class dismissed.
Rachel Carson = mass murderer of poor people.
No mention of the junk science that the anthropogenic climate change crowd worship.
Actually I think the bald eagles and golden eagles were being shot by sheep ranchers. I remember as a kid seeing several eagles hanged on a sheep ranch fence gate, next to coyotes and a mountain lion.
It’s because he’s an alarmist, a card-carrying member of the junk science propaganda troop proselytizing about his version of “science.” His twitter handle is, ironically, @camwritessogood.
It would be humorous if so many people didn’t fall for his BS (including here).
English is no scientist. He’s an opinionated propagandist writing articles for profit.
Rachel Carson = mass murderer of poor people.
