If you’re worried about the effects of pesticides on honey bees, simply stop collecting information to solve the problem. That’s the position of the Trump administration.
On the heels of the EPA’s June approval of a bee-killing pesticide, the White House said it would stop collecting data on declining honey bee populations—potentially making it impossible to analyze the effects of the chemical and the administration’s other anti-science policies on the pollinators.
The next step might be to stop collecting criminal justice statistics, statistics related to failing schools to “solve” those problems too. That strategy would be in line with our tendency to start wars based on faulty intel and lies. And we’ve already cut the budget for gathering climate data and analysis.
No information, no problem. See no evil.
