Once again, McNutt was addressing politicians concerning debate about policy, not scientists conducting research. That is patently obvious from the context of her words and suggesting otherwise is patently dishonest.
McNutt put an op-ed piece in Science, misusing her position to use the banked authority of that journal to state "the time for debate is over". Anti-science at its worst. Legitimate scientists should be calling for her resignation.
Ian, did you read McNutt's piece? It's not paywalled. She was NOT talking to scientists. She was talking to politicians.
