For some sensitive issues that have a political component in addition to a physics ones, would there be merit in creating sub-forums -- e.g. climate change as a sub-forum of Earth Sciences.
The consequences would unfortunately be too negative if we did this. The subject is too loaded by misinformation, political goals, and ignorance. Furthermore it touches phenomena like psychology, sociology and similar fields which provide reasons to explain human behavior, again causes of non scientific responses.Sherwood Botsford said:For some sensitive issues that have a political component in addition to a physics ones, would there be merit in creating sub-forums -- e.g. climate change as a sub-forum of Earth Sciences.
