Trump's disdain for scientists; still no chief science, technology adviser (suspect, economic)

Denying science is about ignorance and pandering to the poorly educated.

Just so you'll know...

I believe in science but not the science that adjusts data to get the result desired. If AGW is real, why all the adjustments to data?

That alone leads me to believe the whole scheme is cooked up pun intended.

Science isn't an article of faith.

And they have no potable water or can't take showers for days at a time.

So, this water only happened while trump was in office?

Was this water the same on your saviors obama watch?

The left is/has gotten completely stupid about this.


ETA:

Is this really a 2011 image?

I am a scientist and I have never heard of the White House Chief Scientist.

So are you celebrating your ignorance???

Did you even read the first three paragraphs of the column?

<<The O.S.T.P. was authorized by Congress in May 1976 to give the president “independent, expert judgment and assistance on policy matters which require accurate assessments of the complex scientific and technological features involved.” It has played an important role in coordinating national science and technology activities and policies among federal agencies.

The director of the office, who is nominated by the president and requires Senate approval, typically serves as the president’s science adviser, providing him with confidential, unbiased counsel.>>

John Holdren, Obama's chief scientist, regularly was interviewed, as can easily be verified by a web search. Here are interviews, many of which I saw, from the PBS NewsHour.

Holdren also was virulently vilified by climate change deniers and others. He was not an invisible man.

John Holdren? How many Americans ever heard of him?
This thread is a joke right?

Not to the left, they think if the head of an office is not filled, the mission stops....
