To be clear: The “anti-science” candidate is one who would increase oil drilling and approve the Willow Project, given that the majority of scientists of the world are urging us to ramp down fossil fuel extraction immediately. The “pro-science” candidate one who would cancel the Willow project on her first day in office. The “anti-medicine” candidate is one who will not support a public option, and says he’d refuse to sign a Medicare For All bill. The “pro-medicine” candidate is someone who stands for universal healthcare. Smears do not change the truth; they just obscure it. But only for so long.

The clean energy economy will still need some petroleum for materials, as well as for hydrogen production (essentially for decarbonizing steel and chemical industries).

The climate impacts of Willow need to be assessed using a pre-existing baseline. Alaskan crude replaces Ecuadorian crude in W. Coast refineries; the increased drilling at Willow will have little to no impact on refinery capacity, let alone fuel prices for consumers.

scientists’ opinion ≠ science and yes, after watching the COVID sh¡t show of appeal to authority, ad hominem, band wagon, and genetic fallacies i don’t want to hear anymore regarding science or medicine - especially if you were fool enough to beleive the athoritah.

I believe the "anti-Science" candidate would be the one insisting Social Constructivist Ideology trumps Biology, while the "pro-science" candidate would not even humor such blatant denial of physical reality

The anti food candidate is the one shutting off fossil fuels without first having a plan for survival.

Standing is nice, but how would you implement universal Healthcare.

The atomic scientists have taken the responsibility to point out the weak points of our environment and biosphere. Global warming is to be taken seriously.
