Are you sure ?
Polluted skies, polluted oceans, mind-controlling inventions with only power-hungry intentions. Not looking good, for sure.

The mindset of Modern Science is about establishing absolute uniformity.
Astrology allows for variations.
What kind of uniformity do you mean? I am pretty sure that science recognizes partial uniformity with unexplained variation, even in the so-called hard sciences.
A discussion about science can go two ways. It may go toward the properties, goals, and ideals of pure Science with a capital "S", or it may go toward the hidden agendas and egotistical tangents of the society of scientists.
Pure science is interested in finding consensus by trial and error. It prizes a skeptical approach to new information, but it also prizes intellectual honesty and freedom from corruption.
Pure Science is practical and it is a noble goal, but rarely is it achieved or expressed.
I will give an example from our modern times. Many people claim to be spokespeople for science who are fraudulent. Let's consider the topic of Global Warming. Many politically motivated people insist that if you don't follow the politics formulated by Al Gore, then you are "anti-science". That is not a scientific approach. It is fraud. Science is ruined by any political takeover or any New Religion referred to as Politcal Correctness. Here is the science:

So, it's REALLY okay to massively pollute the environment and despoil the wilderness areas in pursuit of $$$? That's GREAT news for the industrial Corporations!
Not very scientific, but a very, very political ploy. All those who disagree are evil. Smear, not science. Its the disagreement that is the sticking point. Your alarmism has been addressed scientifically.
Notice that you put words in my mouth I did not say. That is the threat of the Left. If you disagree, there are a thousand ways I can get you.
I don't think you can blame the gross offenders on scientists who disagree with you. That is smear. "If you don't agree, there are a thousand ways I can get you."
The scientists did not protect the gross offenders. They pointed out that most of the climate models are useless, have failed completely to model the future. The Russian model was pretty good, but NONE of the others were, but those are the ones that were used by Gore and his cohorts.
They pointed out the content and the tactics of the alarmists. They pointed out the science that is so embarrassing for the alarmists.
Disagree with me about what, exactly? I've stated that supporting a clean and healthy environment and the protection of wilderness areas isn't dependent on the belief that the gross polluters are contributing to climate change.
Are these scientists you speak of OPPOSED to clean air and water, a healthy environment when it comes to controlling toxic waste disposal, and the protection of the wilderness areas? If not, I have no problem with their research, provided it's accurate.
I produced the scientific evidence from the scientists. They were impressive generally even though their output was an embarrassment for the Left. The scandal is Gore, Obama, Biden, Kerry, and many others. The scientists have nothing to atone for. What about the lies of Gore, Obama, Biden, Kerry, et. al.? That is a scandal. It is sadly unscientific, and it is the worst kind of politics.
None of Gore's very alarming predictions came true. The due dates have all passed. The use of the "97% of scientists agree" tactic was ignominious and now committed to public record. The Paris Climate Accord is a sham. Most of the mudslinging using the environment has been debunked. IT WAS A HOAX.
The environment being polluted is through big corporations looking to cut corners and make as much money as possible, not scientists.
For me, it has the advantage of ENCOURAGING a better environment, whether it's scientifically accurate or not.
I'm not sure what such a hoax would be meant to accomplish?
"Modern Science" made modern technology possible, through scientific research. Modern technology requires a huge electrical supply, which adds greatly to the pollution problem.
One of the top scientists in the field has explained the motives and rewards of a hoax here. Gore scooped up millions of government funds.

Accusing your political opponents and those who vote differently from you of conspiring to destroy the planet is a path to election and revenge. Its called a smear.
If it is a dishonest claim, you lose credibility which is fitting and right. The reason for all the virtue signaling is to build a rationale for ruthlessness.
Trump has been removing any restrictions he can on corporate pollution. He's also been attempting to force the States, California in particular, to lower their own pollution standards, so far without much success.
I'm not saying he's trying to destroy the whole planet; he's trying to increase corporate profits by freeing corporations to pollute with impunity.
That's not a "smear", it's an inconvenient truth for the Trump administration.
