I guess we should “mansplain” to her that science and technology aren’t the same thing.
Without science staying science, which is where modern climatology has also failed (it is a technological pursuit of SWAGs) we can’t have a technology which works.
Technology may be used for social ends, certainly. And we may debate about what ends are worth pursuing.
We can’t invent our own truth though.
This is probably how the Dark Ages came about.
