Jeepers, you must have been unconscious, these past several decades!!! Haven't you already realized that "science" has been harnassed to questions of "social justice" [which, or course are only decidable "politically," not on the basis of any enduring Truth] for all that time?
How do you think anyone could move a federal budget to address, say, "global warming" issues, without some "fig leaf" of science to support the endeavor?
Fraudulently.
