A study of abuse of science. Political abuse of science, such as the recent attempts to stop NASA sceintists from public statements about the possiblity that global warming may be pushing Earth to a "tipping point," have a long history.
Today's political abusers of science are pikers compared to the Nazis, and no one claims that their motives and ideology are as vile as those who viewed themselves as members of the "Master Race." Still, it's useful to look back at Nazi tactics to see how easy it is to abuse science to achieve political objectives. [Science Blog -]
