This is what is playing out in the anti-GM (genetically modified), anti-climate change, anti-nuclear and anti-vaccinations arena in the 21st century.</p><p style="border: 0px none; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; line-height: 21px; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255);">Then, there is a sub-section of people among the deniers who concoct their own parallel science to counter the mainstream scientific consensus. In India, Kerala declared itself a No-GMO state, egged on by some “parallel” scientists. Using parallel science arguments, former environment minister Jairam Ramesh clamped a so-called temporary moratorium on Bt brinjal.</p><p style="border: 0px none; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; line-height: 21px; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255);">Another tactic of science deniers is the use of false equivalence. There are two or three NGOs in India that fight against GM crops using false equivalence. The most abhorrent idea that decision-making bodies and organizations have come to accept is to bring a sense of “false balance” to the debate by giving a seat at the table to these deniers.</p><p style="border: 0px none; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; line-height: 21px; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255);">The public falls for the false equivalence logical fallacy, because often they don’t trust governments, and it is comforting to hear an authority-like figure trying to protect their interests by stopping governments ‘doing harm’ to their subjects or the environment. Modern day sociologists call this democratization of science, which is actually mobocratization of science.</p><p style="border: 0px none; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; line-height: 21px; background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255);">Science deniers are creating havoc in the science and technology space, whether or not they understand what they are talking about.

A few days after receiving it, Tank called James Raich, her contact at the NSF, to talk it over. "I told her to ignore it," says Raich, an ecosystem ecologist at Iowa State University in Ames who worked for the NSF for two years reviewing grant proposals. He told her that letters like these were unusual. But the critiques kept on coming. On 30 November, Monsanto, a maker of <span class="i" style="font-style: italic;">Bt </span>maize based in St Louis, Missouri, sent the EPA a six-page critical response<sup /></font></a><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090902/full/461027a.html#B8" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">8</a> to the paper, and posted it online. Eric Sachs, director of global scientific affairs at Monsanto, says that regulators ask seed companies to notify them of papers that relate to crop safety, so Monsanto often includes with its notification evaluations of these papers.</font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.4;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Four other signatories of the McHughen letter went on to publish scathing opinion articles over the next few months. In a March 2008 article<sup><a href="http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090902/full/461027a.html#B9" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">9</a></sup> criticizing four papers on biotech crops, Ammann joined forces with <b>Henry Miller,</b> a research fellow at the Hoover Institution in Stanford, California, to ask "Is biotechnology a victim of anti-science bias in scientific journals?". They called Rosi-Marshall's conclusions "dubious", and said their use of evidence "arguably amounts to investigator misconduct". And in a July 2008 commentary in <span class="i" style="font-style: italic;">Current Science</span><sup><a href="http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090902/full/461027a.html#B10" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none;">10</a></sup>, Shanthu Shantharam, a visiting research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey said Rosi-Marshall's "offending" paper "carried a wrong message to farmers and environmentalists", and that anti-biotech crop activists would use the paper to "hamper the progress of science".</font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.4;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Rosi-Marshall took the hits hard. "I experienced it in person and in writing," she says. "These are not the kind of tactics we're used to in science." She was a few years out from her PhD, she did not have tenure at Loyola and her first paper in a prominent journal was getting trashed, along with her reputation. "She's young and was getting picked on," says Michelle Marvier, a biologist at Santa Clara University in California who attended the NAS November 2007 meeting.</font></p></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">==</font></div></div></div>
