re: #470 MandyManners

OK that is not forced abortions.

I did not say that I liked his politics. I said that he does not set science policy and as far as his scientific credentials go, he is not a lightweight. I further said that he is not the one in charge of the science budgets.

We are not on opposite sides here Mandy. I am saying that this is a diversion from real science issues.

As far as real science issues are concerned, it is not clear to me, however much I may hate his politics that he would get the math wrong. One of the great things about science is that it in of itself does not have a political affiliation. Either the data backs you up or it doesn’t.

No one has ever accused him of cooking any numbers. That does not mean that he was not wrong about the population issue, and since he himself has not done any work on the issue in thirty years, I think that count’s as distancing himself.
