re: I'm not surprised Toxic Biophilia:
I am not surprised that the USA regime is hostile to science, and to eco-constraints.
Although people always say they are concerned about environment, I am not surprised at the indifference to the USA regimes eco-attack. Most bio-philia is now toxic, eg golf and 100kW cars. You think you love nature, actually you're attacking her.
In the long run, despising science and cutting students, are signs that USA is going down...

national meeting of the American Association for Advancement of Science expressed concern Sunday that some scientists in key federal agencies are being ignored or even pressured to change study conclusions that don't support policy positions.
Bush's proposed 2005 federal budget is slashing spending for basic research and reducing investments in education..
..restrictions ..diminishing the flow to the U.S. of foreign-born science students..
..Bush administration has cut scientists out policy-making.. particularly on environmental issues.
..global warming..Proven, widely accepted research is being ignored or disputed, she said.
"we don't really have a policy right now to deal with what everybody agrees is a serious problem."
..climate events that "our species has not experienced before."
..Union of Concerned Scientists ..U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 42% said they felt pressured to not report publicly any findings that do not agree with Bush policies on endangered species.
..a third of the Fish and Wildlife researchers said they were even pressured not to express within the agency any views in conflict with the Bush policies.
"This administration has distanced itself from scientific information," said Gottfried. He said this is part of a larger effort to let politics dominate pure science.
He said scientists in the Environmental Protection Agency have been pressured to change their research to keep it consistent with the Bush political position on environmental issues.
