his administration has injected politics into areas of the scientific arena where it was not previously seen.

Oh, and I guess Al Gore sat back quietly while he was a powerful senator in the '80s and while he was VP in the '90s. For crying out loud, it is precisely because he politicised the field of climatology by directing much federal funding that we are in the circus we are currently in. The result of all this when cooling begins in a decade or 2 is that the credibility of science in general will be severely damaged by a narrow field of science (climatology).

Al Gore - as we all know - is not the greatest advocate for anything.

I'd have to say that polarization on any issue involving serious money and power is inevitable. But still, this Administration has done what it has done.
