“科学在帮助理解国家所面临的政治议题方面，从未像今天这样至关重要；然而，科学和科学家对联邦政府的影响力，却跌至 Richard Nixon 解雇其科学顾问以来的最低点。在白宫和国会，研究成果被以政治化的方式汇报；为了迎合演讲者的意图而被曲解或歪曲；或者在结论过于棘手时被彻底忽视。在一系列广泛的议题上——干细胞研究、气候变化、导弹防御、禁欲教育等等——Bush Administration 的立场……

……毫不费力就能听懂他们在讲什么。大部分公众要么太忙，要么太懒，要么太蠢，根本不愿花心思。至于科学家被“逐出”共和党这事，你可以先读 Chris Mooney 的《共和党向科学宣战》（The Republican War on Science），接着看同一作者的《不科学的美国》（Unscientific America）、Matt Tiabbi 的《大错乱》（The Great Derangement），或者 Charles Pierce 的《白痴美国》（Idiot America）。再翻翻《怀疑的推销员》（Merchants of Doubt）或者《怀疑是他们的产品》（Doubt is their Product）……
…understand what they are saying without too much effort. Most of the public is too busy, too lazy, or too stupid to do this. As far as scientists being "chased" from the republican party, start with The Republican War on Science by Chris Mooney, move on to Unscientific America by the same author, The Great Derangement by Matt Tiabbi, or Idiot America by Charles Pierce. Skim through Merchants of Doubt or Doubt is their Product…
……参议员 James Inhofe——而且都过去一年了！要驳倒 Inhofe 用来为自己愚蠢观点辩护的每一个逻辑谬误和歪曲事实，得花上好几个小时；简单起见，我推荐《共和党向科学宣战》（The Republican War on Science）这本书，能很好地概括 Inhofe 所秉持的那种理智上的虚伪程度。
…Senator James Inhofe -- and a year old, too! It would take hours to debunk every logical fallacy and twisted fact that Inhofe uses to justify his silly views; for brevity, let me recommend the book "The Republican War on Science" for a good overview of the level of intellectual dishonesty that Inhofe embraces.
如果说有谁最有资格谈论政治与否定科学的话题，那非 Chris Mooney 莫属。http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Republican_War_on_Science 没错，他也审视过左派否定科学的现象。至于他的例证，他经常写关于气候变化否认论的内容，这也是他论点中最典型的例子。补充：……
If anyone is qualified to speak about politics and science denial, it would be Chris Mooney. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Republican_War_on_Science Yes, he has examined science denial on the left as well. As for his examples, he regularly writes on climate change denial, and it's also the most prominent example of what he's talking about. Edit:…
……20 年前。如果你问一个民主党人是否相信科学，他们难免会受“共和党人反科学”这一印象的影响。这在 20 年前就已经是普遍现象了：《共和党向科学宣战》（The Republican War on Science）这本书早在 2005 年就出版了。但自那之后，气候变化成了更突出的议题，最近否定 COVID 也成了一个大问题。共和党人公开大声抨击了一些科学界群体……
…20 years ago. If you ask a Democrat whether they trust in science, they can't help but take into account the perception that Republicans are anti-science. That was a thing 20 years ago: the book *The Republican War on Science" was published in 2005. But since then climate change has become a more prominent issue, and COVID denial has more recently become a huge issue. Republicans have loudly denounced some scientific communities…
