Excerpt from www.science20.comDo you believe bees are dying, that GMOs ‘need more study’, modern pesticides cause impotence?If so, I know how you vote, and that you would be a great fit as a humanities academic claiming to be an expert about science. Like historian Dr. Naomi Oreskes, who sees conspiracies everywhere except in her tribe, even if a domestic front group for her political party got a gigantic mysterious off-shore anonymous donation through a donor-advised fund because they routinely promoted Russia Today and Sputnik and oppose American science in Russia’s two largest exports, energy and food.Dr. Oreskes routinely denied that she takes money from lawyers but when exposed as a liar after a deposition reverted to arguing that she only takes money from lawyers out to sue oil companies since Big Oil was trying to buy off scientists. Because she was a history major she may never have learned logic. If the conspiracy had been on the Big Oil side, they’d have won. She repeatedly claimed Monsanto bought off scientists to get GMOs approved yet her noble cause resisted the money. So trillions of dollars of Big Oil money could not buy off a few hundred climate scientists while tiny Monsanto, with even less revenue than organic store Whole Foods, somehow bought off 500,000 biologists?
