I don't see science as being a political issue.
Good governance should be about acting on accurate scientific data - not about distorting the truth, hiding from it, or pretending the facts are not what they are.
While I think the use of nuclear vs renewables is a political issue around the world, only in the US (and to a lesser extent, Australia) does climate change seem to be political.
The Conservative parties of the UK, France, Germany, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand and host of others ALL accept that human acitivty may be playing a role in climate change, and have developed policies to suit.
In many cases, this means nuclear.
But why do some Americans seem to think climate change is left wing conspiracy, when most conservatives around the world are saying the opposite?
