  1. This is no accident. Climate ‘Scientists’ conduct research the same way Democrats conduct elections… fraudulently.

    1. Nothing to see here…move along…
      If you want to be published, you have to follow the corrupted narrative.

    2. Yeah, it’s telling that Biden has chosen climate fraudster Michael Mann to head up his climate agenda crap.

  2. Everything is corrupted today. I blame it on my generation, the baby boomers. Everything they have touched has turned to crap. I was introduced to the magazine, Scientific American. Every ten years or so I would get a copy or subscribe. Last time I did the rag was junk. All propaganda on climate change, etc. We do indeed live in interesting times.

    1. All propaganda on climate change, etc.

      Worse yet, publications like Science are just as bad. Now it’s added “racism” to its pet peeves. There’s scarcely an issue nowadays that doesn’t have someone whining about it.

      I blame it on my generation, the baby boomers. Everything they have touched has turned to crap.

      Not exactly. Baby boomers helped put men on the moon, considering that many of the flight controllers in Mission Control were in the 20s. Also, don’t forget that founders of Apple, Jobs and Wozniak, were also boomers.

      1. While growing in a communist diktat, we were forced to read 10 books a year that were basically your communist propaganda. I must say that my revulsion to anything that is forced stopped me from doing that and of course was subject to low marks in the subject.
        Anyway, not that we were forced, take yer pick and be at peace with the consequences.

        Used to read Scientific American and Science from the library of the corporation that I worked for. Could not wait for the next issue. They had articles that were interesting to the inquiring mind.
        Then they started to slide and today it is not what it was.
        The articles today are force fed to people that must read them and those in certain positions absolutely must read them. They don’t have to agree, though not publicly, they just have to read them to conform to the socialist/fascist norms of today.

      2. Yes, there was a decided split between “good” Boomers and “bad” ones. Many fought in the Vietnam War and were true Patriots, but those that went Left have a LOT to answer for. They gave us no fault divorce, abortion on demand, the ever expanding Welfare State and open borders. THOSE Boomers should be deported.

  6. I was a dedicated Scientific American reader in the70’s and 80’s. I can’t remember exactly when I gave up on it. Probably around 2000 or a bit before. First, they dumbed it down to the point where it was easy to read but taught me nothing. Then they began to journey into full stupidity, with the climate change “science” being the worst. Logic and detailed analysis went out the window in favour of preaching nonsense that was utterly unsubstantiated by evidence. National Geographic is the same. AS is NBC,ABC and CBS and PBS. Impossible not to think it is a concerted effort at creating a post-factual media universe. I really don’t understand its genesis or why it goes unquestioned but it is real.

    1. I started my SA subscription in the early 1970s and read it for a long time. I haven’t had time for it lately, so I’ve got several years of unread issues piled up. It appears that I didn’t miss much.

      I finally decided to let my subscription lapse because I don’t have any round tuits for it. I made a good call when I read that SA endorsed Biden over Trump. When a periodical like that becomes a political mouthpiece, it’s time to chuck it aside.

      The same thing happened with National Geographic. I stopped reading it about 25 years ago when I got tired of how its articles became slanted towards leftist ideology. So much for being a periodical of discovery and knowledge.

  7. It began when Big Phama took over Continuing Medical Education magazines then websites, took over funding medical research, whose postgraduate students became members of boards, advisory bodies, holders of esteemed academic chairs. This was achieved in the early eighties then rolled out across the sciences: control of publication, control of research, control of regulatory bodies, sidelining of dissenters whose career paths closed.

    1. Interesting. As a former National Geographic subscriber I noticed a few subtle references to “climate change” in their articles in the late eighties and early nineties until it got so they weren’t even hiding their pro climate change agenda, Preferring to have it blare at me like a train horn on their front cover just in case we weren’t getting the point.
      That’s when I cancelled.
      A lot of theories have been posited about this sudden change most notably that the editors who were WASPY were replaced by oh, let’s just say they weren’t Presbyterians.
      Whatever.

      1. Burton….your path with Nat Geo mirrors mine.
        I cancelled in ’92.
        …and to date have not opened one up since.

        It’s the same with so many outlets of Information. TV, Newspapers & Magazines have since the mid 80’s all been pretty much hawking some form of bullshit or another beit Climate Change or Social Justice or some other “issue”.

        I have NO subscriptions, be they CableTV, Magazines etc….nothing. with the exception of 75gb Bandwidth with Telus. Internet service only. And the strange thing is, I don’t miss any of that crap ever…..

    2. It started with AGore’s reinvention of the government in 1993. It cost me a great independent research and development job. Gore redirected DARPA and other funding into his pet projects which laundered (s) dimorat money. Same as Planned Parenthood, NEA, UAW…Remember Clinton/Gore took campaign $$ from impoverished Chinese Buddhist monks and nuns. Remember Charlie Trie? Clinton and Bernie Schwartz (LORAL) enabled China to stage their rockets and improved their targeting capabilities. Yeah, it was GORE

  9. Well, when a lack of knowledge is combined with a complete lack of wisdom this is what you get.

  10. There is NO distinction between what passes for “science” and political advocacy. It is utterly corrupting REAL science in the same way “crying wolf”, when none are present, causes preordained disbelief. Every “scientific” article claiming new HORRORS!!! of CAGW is filed under FRAUD … in my logical, common-sense, brain synapses.

    1. There is NO distinction between what passes for “science” and political advocacy.

      That’s the doctrine of the American Association for the Advancement of Science nowadays. Now it seems that its flagship publication Science is little more than a bunch of articles about “climate change”, “racism”, and MeToo. Its editorials are little more than tedious “science is Biden, un-science is Trump” tirades.

  13. If you think science is bad now, just wait until it’s done by people who were hired to fill race quotas.
