See/Hear no evil science

Neal Lane, who served as director of the National Science Foundation and then as presidential science adviser during the Clinton administration, observed: "It's always the case in the White House ... that science is one of a number of sets of issues that a president, a political policymaker, has to consider when they're making decisions. Sometimes the decision goes in a way that the science would not suggest. But there's such a long list of egregious actions taken by this administration that I think it essentially gives a false impression of what the science really is and strongly suggests the administration simply doesn't care to find out." (My emphasis)

We have an Administration actively trying to keep science from interfering with its own preconceived notions, thus undercutting scientific integrity to the potential detriment of the entire planet and its population.
