I hope most NPR readers and listeners come down firmly on the side of science. Yet ambitious scientists, as individuals , can betray SCIENCE by willingly serving the ruling class , Big Energy plutocrats. These charlatans are just as morally stained as those Flint , Michigan public officials who assured the common people there that the drinking water was safe -knowing that it contains unhealthy levels of lead. The father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer, talked about good scientists " knowing evil " : " I have become Death - the destroyer of Worlds ".
