When the advancement of science degenerates to ideological advocacy

Today, I received an email from the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) asking the recipient to join their association. This email was loaded with ideological jargon! Very disturbing and shocking!

This is by far not the first time that AAAS promotes such propaganda and demagoguery! I have previously blogged about it (just click on the respective label nearby)

Here are excerpts from this email:

Will you support climate action for ALL?
When the impacts of climate change are disproportionately felt
by marginalized communities
, that is a civil rights issue.
By investing in renewable energy, St. Louis, Missouri is taking action
to ensure the city’s long-term sustainability by focusing on
environmental justice for underserved communities.
...
Community-led sustainability programs result in healthier, safer, and more equitable places to live, with expertise and support from local scientists. ...
Can we count on you to advocate for equitable science-based solutions to climate change?
There will never be a better time to focus the conversation on the intersection of environmentalism and social justice. The city of St. Louis is paving the way by:
Creating green jobs in low-income communities Transitioning away from fossil fuels to improve air quality resulting in lower energy bills for local organizations
Aiding in the transition to electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions that cause long-term environmental and health issues
Join AAAS today to support equal environmental protection for all people as scientists take action to combat climate change.
... for joining in support of this urgent effort.
