@DoctorVive The Administration, leaders of scientific institutions, the parties, and the funders have not shown any critical self-reflection on how they are undermining the credibility of US science.

A big ruckus over OMB's proposed rule for changing research funding oversight.
The rule proposes inc. accountability in light of perceived ideological tendencies in science. The comments frames the rule as political influence.
Two sides of the same coin. No shared vocab.

[Jessica Weinkle @JessicaWeinkle]

@DoctorVive There is a long history of demand, by D & R, for improved accountability. But "science" became increasingly insular. If the institutions are not going to be more responsive on their own and Congress is out to lunch, then it leaves it open for the WH to pick at.

@matthewgburgess agreed.

and Republicans have looked away from a great many things

the climate rule set up a really unfortunate precedent

In the weeds on the history, this strikes as incredibly full circle

[Alex Trembath @atrembath]

Stephen, @JigarShahDC, and @JaneAFlegal get into something that Whitehouse/McKibben are eliding in their jeremiads at the "climate hushers."

The debate is not about whether to talk about climate change. The debate is about whether to center the climate emergency in politics.

this doesn't do justice to the depth of capture that occurred to have pushed the rule forward

history rhymes

@RogerPielkeJr @hausfath Did IAC say anything about the COI evident in the same ppl & institutions making decisions about IPCC scenarios also designing scenarios for the purposes of a global financial regulatory and investment regime built around a climate risk they were characterizing in IPCC reports?

[Jessica Weinkle @JessicaWeinkle]

@hausfath @RogerPielkeJr They also designed the NGFS scenarios with philanthropic funding

So much is said here 👏

When the same handful of people are discussing, choosing, designing, and writing for the purposes of IPCC reporting one may reasonably argue that the IPCC is coordinating.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

In response to recent misinformation about the use of scenarios in IPCC reports: the IPCC does not conduct its own research. The IPCC’s role is to assess the available scientific, peer-reviewed literature relevant to climate change: https://t.co/wSwOEVqFym
