"The defect is that subject-object science has no provision for morals."

Thank you for proving my point.
[Arlo had said]
Its amazing how quick evil acerdimics and "SOM scientists" go from
being commie, deceitful, anti-liberty, global cabalists to "supported
authorities on a subject" when they advance support for conservative
ideology...
[Arlo adds]
Poor Dyson, from a lauded authority to an amoral dismissable in one
quick soundbite...
Since you also offered Dyson as an "authority" on "global warming" as
a "religion", you may also want to let folks know that the reason he
criticizes the "obsession" (your quote) on "global warming" is as follows.
"They are horrified to see the obsession with global warming
distracting public attention from what they see as more serious and
more immediate dangers to the planet, including problems of nuclear
weaponry, environmental degradation, and social injustice." (Dyson)
So if you, like Dyson, want the dialogue instead to focus on the
dangers of nuclear weaponry, environmental degradation and social
injustice, I'm with you.
If instead, as is likely, you're conveniently quoting him out of
context as an authority (on one hand) to support conservative
ideology, but then dismissing him (on the other) as amoral when he
violates the Conservative Orthodoxy, then you only continue to
showcase your own foolishness. Expected, of course, but still sad to see.
But if you're dismissing Dyson as an SOM scientist with no provision
for morals, then I think we can safely say his claim that
"environmentalism" is a "religion" is also dismissable for the same reason.
