Should scientists ever be political advocates?

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 17-04-16] [Hit: ]
- say: I would rather have experts advocating policy instead of people who have no knowledge of the subject. Only ideologues could possibly object to using the scientific method when it comes to policy.-Gary F say: Most scientists lack the aptitude, inclination, and experience to effectively communicate their reseach publically. I think that has to change - especially since experts in scientific journalism appear to be a dying breed.......

Pretending the scientists actually had enough evidence to claim certain catastrophe, their answer shoudl be that we do SOMETHING, not that we do something specific like a carbon tax.

Now they are certainly people so they always have the right to protest as they wish, but to pretend their science background makes them more able to determine what we shoudl do as a society, is simply untrue.

Hobbit say: Scientists did not politicize climate science. Ignorant liars like Trump did. And scientists have every right to object and speak out. YOUR attempt to intimidate us into silence will not work.

Squidmaster say: I don't see why theirs a problem with scientists voicing opinions on their findings. If they have evidence of something dangerous, i sincerely hope they would stand up for itm
