Politics & Science
Just another blogs.scienceforums.net weblog

This is another question I hope to tackle on this blog.  In the video below, Professor Mike Hulme of the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, and the founding director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, discusses the pitfalls of using scientific evidence to determine political policy.

This blog will be about the intersection between politics and science.  I thought I’d start out with this excellent documentary sent to me by one of our members (iNow) on global warming and denial of it.  This is an area that will likely receive considerable focus on this blog, given that it is obviously one of the main battlegrounds between science and politics.
