    Wow, what a great idea! More control for the very people who brought us the climate change denial machine. This is like giving the fox the keys to the henhouse.

    Science isnt about politics. Trust in expertise, not special interests.

    Science isnt about politics, but we cant ignore the bots running the labs. Trust in expertise, but also in the bots ability to keep politics out of the research.

    More control for the climate change deniers? I think we should be more skeptical of their motives and focus on evidence-based research, regardless of whos funding it. #science #skepticism
