Politics and Science How science should advise, influence, and shape climate policy in the 21st Century

“When scientific information becomes merely something to be manipulated to achieve a political end, the quality and integrity of the political process inevitably suffers.”

Great book, if you’re into political science Great book, if you’re into political science. Offers significant perspective on the rise of anti-science during the Bush administration of the 2000s Offers some insight onto how we got to where we are politically? I’ll let you decide…

“Ch. 2: Political Science 101” What does a politician do when science points to inconvenient conclusions? There is a tension created between value-based, ideological commitments and the pure conclusions of honest scientific research What does it mean to politicize science? “Any attempt to inappropriately undermine, alter, or otherwise interfere with the scientific process, or its conclusions, for political or ideological reasons…”

How science is politicized 1. Undermining science itself 2. Suppression 3.Targeting individual scientists and their conclusions 4. Rigging the process 5. Errors and misrepresentation/distortion 6. Magnifying uncertainty 7. Relying on, and elevating, the fringe 8. Contrary science 9. Dressing up values in scientific clothing

Ad hominem attacks ”Alternative facts”

“The art of science advice to government” Sir Peter Gluckman Looks #jolly Chief science advisor to New Zealand

Article Review 1. Maintain the trust of many 2. Protect the independence of advice 3. Report to the top 4. Distinguish science for policy from policy for science. 5. Expect to inform policy, not make it. 6. Give science privilege as an input into policy 7. Recognize the limits of science 8. Act as a broker not an advocate 9. Engage the scientific community 10. Engage the policy community
