The blatant use of science for political gain is not new, but it's clearly getting worse. All kinds of "science" is being used to justify policies that fit a particular political agenda.
Case in point: Some Harvard scientists have examined the environmental policies of the Trump administration and concluded that up to 80,000 people a decade will die as a result of political decisions that they disagree with.
It used to be that such pronouncements were dismissed as "unscientific." Today, it's front page news.

Less than what is killed by socialism.
Just think how many fireman lives will be saved if we stop sending them into burning buildings.

Perhaps the scientists could perform a study on how creating government regulations that hamper innovation and progress costs even more lives? Perish the thought. exactly! Same with gun regulation pc logic they forget how many lives are saved because of guns.

They’re always complaining about overpopulation, but when somebody does something about it, they complain some more. You can’t win....

Like I said, the “NOH8” haters have become their own punch line.

There are clearly legitimate environmental concerns, and I have zero doubt that if and when presented with legitimate scientific evidence that something should be done about a specific environmental concern, Trump will be on board.
The reality is that by politicizing everything to push their own agenda, those on the left - including scientists on the left - have diminished the credibility of science and have made it much harder to actually find a consensus on things that we need to find consensus on.
