Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) supports the March for Science - science for all, not just those in power

Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) supports the March for Science, advocating for science that serves the common good rather than those in power. The organization criticizes the US government for suppressing climate science and ignoring evidence, while also warning against the power of large corporations and the fossil fuel industry to shape research agendas and undermine scientific evidence.

• SGR supports the March for Science, specifically emphasizing the need for science to serve the common good and maintain independence, openness, and pluralism.
• The US government is criticized for damaging science by ignoring evidence, cutting funding, deleting data, and dismissing climate science as 'politicised' while increasing military science funding.
• Large corporations exert excessive power over the research agenda, including the ability to fund or defund studies and control the publication of results, necessitating more safeguards and diverse funding sources.
• Certain fossil fuel industry interests have adopted tactics used by the tobacco industry to undermine climate science, while military and arms interests introduce secrecy into universities.
