Critics decry 'apocalypticism' in science policy debates
Original: ‘It’s a form of apocalypticism applied to science policy’
A commentator has described current discourse around science policy as 'a form of apocalypticism applied to science policy', arguing that debates over research and technology are increasingly framed in catastrophic, end-of-the-world terms. The remark has struck a chord with readers who see doom-laden rhetoric as distorting how governments weigh scientific priorities and risks, and it is fueling wider discussion about how policymakers should talk about emerging threats without exaggeration.
Why now: People are debating whether alarmist rhetoric is distorting science policy decisions.
