Science Debate!

Via Mark at Denialism:

We must adapt to the fact that over the last few decades it has

become critical that our politicians and policymakers understand

science and implement policy that is consistent with scientific

facts. And it is past time that we made science enough of a

priority to merit a presidential debate on science. The need is

clear, these days policymakers must be able to respond in an

informed fashion to new technologies, new scientific findings, and

potential disasters (such as climate change). Despite the need for

a scientifically-literate political leadership, we have a president

who says the jury is still out on evolution, who promotes failed

abstinence-only sex education programs, and refuses to make any

substantive changes to address global warming.
