"Modern Science" or "actual science" have become relative terms, deferring to political spin and money. With global warming, corporate interests beseech the public to doubt its own lying eyes. Hawaii is a classic microcosm of truth in its many forms and shifting shapes. Gov David Ige sang Kumbaya over the Paris Climate Accord and the spirit of Hokulea, hoping for a conservation angle to run on, yet he vetoed SB 1240 under political pressure. He used "data" to veto a vital compromise bill on reef recovery--vetoed days after hearing from top global scientists* on the plain common sense of the thing--vetoed in the best interest of WESPAC. Where's the science? The world now spins on political science, for better or worse, until conviction and courage can support common sense. We wait, at least for a while.
