I think one of the problems right now is that science can’t really answer the question of what will be the effect.” But Farrell was not cautious in condemning the Bush administration for its relationship with science, saying that “the previous administration just ignored or put off science” because of an agenda that was economically and morally motivated. The Clinton administration did very little with regard to science as well, said James...
