It's official: the sky is falling

The highly politicized scientific establishment has made it official: the world's sixth mass extinction may be underway- and it's all humanity's fault.

Remember the days when you could trust what scientists said to be the quantifiable truth, instead of an agenda-ridden attempt to advance an ideology?

Remember, to quote novelist Dean Koonz, when science "was about truth instead of power?"

Remember when the very definition of science was the pursuit of truth wherever it led- precisely without an agenda?

Alas, science has given way to Scientism- and in a post-modern age such as ours, in which there is widely supposed to be no such thing as truth, "truth" inevitably becomes, as Nietzsche maintained, nothing more or less than the will to power.

Um... no, I don't, actually. And I'm a little older than you are.
