Culturally, the U.S. Is Turning Even Further Away from Science

Astrophysicist Brian Greene makes an excellent point here, but I’m not holding my breath.  In the brief (15-year) period of time since the launch of 2GreenEnergy, our public education standards have continued to deteriorate, while our kids’ interest in science remains feeble.

At the same time, “grown-up” Americans have begun to ridicule the phase “trust the science,” and there is no consensus  that public policy should be based on scientific findings.   In fact, we just re-elected a president whose support base rejects science as it applies to both environmental stewardship and epidemiology.
