TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) ‘The US faces two futures,’ according to editors at top science magazine Sept. 18, 2024 A top science magazine has waded into the political sphere after making a presidential endorsement, only the second in its 179-year history. “Vote for Kamala Harris to Support Science, Health and the Environment,” read the headline in Scientific American on Monday, announcing the publication’s official support for the Democratic presidential candidate. ... “The US faces two futures,” the editors wrote, pushing one candidate who “offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience.” They continued: “In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies.” (more) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/scientific-american-endorse-harris-trump-election-b2614153.html Vote for Kamala Harris to Support Science, Health and the Environment Kamala Harris has plans to improve health, boost the economy and mitigate climate change. Donald Trump has threats and a dangerous record By The Editors September 16, 2024 In the November election, the U.S. faces two futures. In one, the new president offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience. She pushes policies that boost good jobs nationwide by embracing technology and clean energy. She supports education, public health and reproductive rights. She treats the climate crisis as the emergency it is and seeks to mitigate its catastrophic storms, fires and droughts. In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies. He ignores the climate crisis in favor of more pollution. He requires that federal officials show personal loyalty to him rather than upholding U.S. laws. He fills positions in federal science and other agencies with unqualified ideologues. He goads people into hate and division, and he inspires extremists at state and local levels to pass laws that disrupt education and make it harder to earn a living. Only one of these futures will improve the fate of this country and the world. That is why, for only the second time in our magazine’s 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is Kamala Harris.

Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted September 18 Popular Post Share Posted September 18 It's a shame that a magazine that purports to support science has gone woke. IMO it's read by so few that their biased rant will make zero difference. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty sad alright ... been on the decline for quite some time https://www.city-journal.org/article/unscientific-american As to your observation with regards to the election I agree. A more serious effect is the damage to trust in science as a whole. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01537-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 More endorsements for Kamala Harris, esp in swing states....... A wave of local and regional Teamsters union branches in battleground states rushed to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris after the national Teamsters union declared it would not endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in nearly three decades. Separately, powerful local Teamsters unions in Philadelphia; New York City; Long Beach, California; and Miami – as well as the union’s National Black Caucus and a group of retirees – have endorsed Harris and urged members to vote for her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted Sunday at 09:13 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:13 PM Proof that supposedly being a scientist doesn't make one clever. One hopes the clown that came up with that mistake is no longer employed by that magazine and it can go back to discussing things related to science.
