Unfortunately, some misuse science. Some of their intentions, are far from benevolent. They see science as a mechanism for political power and control. There is great danger from those who would use science for political control over us.

How do they do this? They instill, and then continuously magnify, fear. Fear is the most effective instrument of totalitarian control.

(2) Here's another, a 'conversation between two environmentalists':

Also jam-packed with insights!  Many of us will have had conversations of this kind.
