Does science have a liberal bias?

[alarimer]

7. Science does not support the anti-GMO or anti-vaccine position AT ALL.

The left is every bit as much invested in science denial as the right is, most of it on the environmentalist side of things.

The anti-vaccine movement seems to cross ideological lines. A lot of it is rich, white liberals with their woo-woo bullshit, but some is just in keeping with anti-government stances on the right.

I work in the scientific field and have been at odds with other liberals over a lot of these things. I would add that a lot of environmental activism is not scientifically based. Some of it is, but a lot of if is just touchy-feely nonsense. I do believe a pro-active approach to protecting the environment is important, but it should be science-based. Commercial and recreational fishing is often vilified on the left. I profoundly disagree with that. It can be (but isn't often, for a variety of political reasons) done in a sustainable way, based on sound science. So can hunting (but not, you know, endangered species) because sometimes giving a value to a species can actually serve to protect it, if managed correctly.
