John Tierney — The Left’s “War on Science”
City Journal contributing editor John Tierney joins John Stossel to talk about the politicization of science and how the dominance of left-wing thinkers in academia and the scientific community impedes progress.
For years, liberals have portrayed themselves as champions of science and maligned conservatives as anti-science. As Tierney points out, though, the Left’s opposition to important advances like genetically modified food and the study of human genetics (among others) has done much more damage than, say, conservative creationists, who have zero impact on scientific funding or decision-making.
Oren Cass — “Overheated” Costs of Climate Change
Oren Cass joins John Stossel to discuss the Paris Agreement and how climate “catastrophists” are harming the debate over how to adapt to the changing global climate. For years, activists have branded any critics of the Left’s environmental policies “climate deniers.” Cass argues that climate activists have drawn drastic policy implications unwarranted by current climate science.
