The US should not normalize Modi’s autocratic and illiberal India at the G20

  • Okay I have no idea what your point is here. And it seems like you missed my point too which was that "people who bring in money help fund research, but their contribution of funding shouldn't diminish the work that the actual scientists do with that money".

  • While I do agree that funding is necessary for research, I don't think the politician who may or may not have brought funding to the project should receive more appreciation than the actual scientists.

  • Presidents and politicians can claim responsibility for any achievement they want to. Doesn't mean that they actually have a legitimate claim.

    Nobody is mad at india for landing on the moon. Everybody likes that and congratulates the scientists for doing so. However, that doesn't mean that the rest of the world forgives all the problems that india has.

    To draw a comparison, Qatar did a great job of hosting the FIFA world cup 2022 (transportation, immigration logistics wise, excluding accommodation). That doesn't mean that everyone forgets about the human rights abuses in those countries.

  • Why would anyone attribute credit to politicians for the work that scientists do ?

    • What's causing this summer's extreme heat waves?

  • Tl;Dr climate change. Of course there's more in the article about why the heat is concentrated in a few places. But the overall reason being climate change.
