Environmental Evaluation of Development Proposals. Case Study: The Adani Project ~ A Need for Review?

2.   Scientific Uncertainty, 
the Politicization of Science
and Public Interest Environmental Conflicts
TAGS: Adani; coal mine; information conflict; science; politics; public interest; community consultation; silo science; Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc.
    Politicization of science means that the interpretation of scientific information is shaped for political gain in a way that  distorts its true meaning.
   This article reviews why public interest environmental conflicts, like the Adani project, can lead to politicization. And an understanding of what politicization of science means: How it arises and how it may be offset. 
The next article in this series will review environmental decision-making,
incomplete and unavailable information and the EIS.

It is at the core of understanding vaccine hesitancy .     Risk appraisal based on both risk assessment and concern assessment would lead to better-informed decision-making by the public on COVID-19 vaccination.    It would also enhance public trust and confidence in vaccination and COVID‑19 vaccines as well as promoting health literacy .   READ MORE …
