Science and scientists need to be put in quotes. Almost all so-called
"science" these days is pure politics.

That's a more nuanced take but I wasn't in the mood. The 'science' on that
particular topic can be traced back to Israel Ehrenberg who adopted the
very regal sounding name of Ashley Montagu when he declared race was a
social construct and got UNESCO onboard.

Apparently L.A. is burning because they quit making fire breaks on the
hills overlooking the city because "they interfered" with the migration
of some breed of mouse. And the water shortage is partly caused by the
removal of dams in north California. (That and they sent their "extra"
fire equipment to Ukraine.)
