I don't have to have a recent degree to grasp the concept of "Cascade" where one hormone, protein triggers another which affects another which enables and/or disables the production of another protein/hormone.
It's "woke" science when everyone is just looking at things superficially and not in depth or for any great length of time.
Climate change is a perfect example. People scream about global cooling or warming because it's been cooler or warmer for the past few years.
They neglect to look at the age of earth in the billions of years.
Science of all stripes has been under fire for quite some time now, and is changing from actual science to pseudo-science. "Science" is no longer determined by experimentation and empirical observation, it is being driven by emotion and political and financial agendas.
Actual scientists are a vanishing breed.
In your example of climate change, I will note that for the 60 million years or so of the Carboniferous period, CO2 levels were about 4 times higher than they currently are (that's how all that carbon got into our fossil fuels to begin with - it couldn't have gotten into them if it wasn't there to begin with), and the global temperature was 11-15 degrees higher than at present... yet the world did not end in "12 years", it continued on like that for 60 million years, and life flourished and proliferated. Good thing AOC was not around back then, or the world would have ended after 12 years of that, and none of us would be here today.
Nowadays, politically driven "science" tells us that would be impossible, despite empirical observation that it actually did happen.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

Scientists/politicians today are no different than the shamans and witch doctors who stated that they could stop volcanoes or floods or droughts if you gave them enough gold and virgins.

waitadamnminnit!
Are you making the bold claim that shamans CAN'T do those things?
Politicians and scientists can't, but I can.
Gimme some gold and virgins, and I'll show ya!

Nope.
It won't work.
If it had, Dr. Fauci-Mengele would have come up with it first!

Rouge Nation is a nice neighborhood that doesn’t need to be infiltrated with the same hysterical fearmongering trans and homophobic ignorant bullshit circle-jerking that is tolerated and prevalent at ATS.
Your thread title is pure clickbait and absolutely factually incorrect. Did you even read either document linked or did you just blindly believe what Faux News told you to believe or did you just see the traction this thread was getting at ATS and decided you could be one of the popular kids too?
Unmmm... Yeah.
I posted in the Political news and more topic and assume that is what it is for. You can always skip my threads and no harm done.

Note that I said "how" to think, not "what" to think. If a person knows how to think, he or she is entirely capable of figuring out what to think on their own, no prompting necessary.
Too bad there are so many kids whose only interactions with adults occur at schools. Maybe there's Nuclear Family or two out there who discuss what was taught at school over dinner at the family table.
But, I bet everyone pretty much ignores everyone else after they get home.
I'm glad my kids were raised right. I'm sorry they haven't made me a grandpa. That said, I'm glad they're not rushing into bringing kids into a world like I see all around me today.
