Science Deniers

      Do we on the political right deny science, or does the political left merely use the term “science” as a selective cudgel only when it benefits them?

     As an individual who believes that it is common sense that the human race does have an effect on the climate of the planet, it dumbfounds me to hear that I am a science denier. The opinion of millions of Americans is that the human race does have an effect on our climate, we are the leading cause of climate change, and we should watch our carbon emissions. Although we do love our environment and agree that we would not be able to advance in society if we burned our forests to the ground, we disagree with the solution to many longstanding problems.

     When presented with the humanitarian crisis of climate change, Barack Obama joined the Paris Climate Accord in accordance with the UN to work together as a human race to reduce carbon emissions and make a change in our dying world. The world joined together, then, to criticize any person, party, or group who then did not agree 100% with this deal. Anyone who spoke out criticizing the accord, or did not agree that making America stunt its economy to contribute to ending the real climate problem, China, or questioning that these “climate scientists” were perfect at their art, were ridiculed. Wikipedia even describes the group of people who do not fully agree to these terms as a “denial machine” and describes people who outspokenly question the science as “a campaign to undermine public trust in…science” For questioning “sure-fire” science, Republicans have been smeared and lied about. Now, even if we Republicans do not stand completely in line with climate “science”, we do not deny biology, psychology, or science as a whole! If we move through what has been described as “science” over the past decade, it will become erroneously clear that the Democratic party, not the Republicans, are the party of science-deniers.

     The Republican party majoritively believes that basic biology should be the basis for sex and gender. We believe that depending on your X or Y chromosomes inside your body, you are created as a male or a female. Stating that we as a society should throw out basic biology, and allow people to subjectively choose their sex, gender, and race based on some delusion in their head, is a belief of the progressive left.

     The Republican party stands firm in that when new DNA is created inside of a woman and it can, based off of numerous scientific studies, survive outside of the womb at the age of 22 weeks.

We vile republicans believe that ending the life of a human being that can live outside the womb is murder. We also believe that if we found a single cell organism on Mars, every headline on Earth for the next week would be “Life Found on Mars”! But when we find a fully formed human child breathing and moving in a woman’s womb, we dismiss it as simply a polyp. We listen to science and logic, yet, we are called science deniers. Basic biology says that women go through menstruation. The New York Times recently reported about A.J. Jackson, a transgender female, who attends a Vermont high school. “There were practical issues,” Anemona Hartocollis writes. “When he had his period, he wondered if he should revert to the girls’ bathroom because there was no place to throw away his used tampons.” Now, a person can and should feel sympathy for the transgendered people, as having a mental illness of this severity can have a heavy toll on a person, and perhaps it’s rude to say so that men are men and women are women, but facts do not cease to be facts simply because they offend people.

     The term “science denier” is merely a blunt weapon used by the progressive left to beat down any person, party, or establishment who dares to question their authority. We, as Americans, have the right to hold our own beliefs and the second that we are afraid to ask questions to authority, tyranny has won.
