Since you didn't specify one, I'll give you a little challenge: global climate change. 

<span>yes...this is not a "historical" answer, but please bear with me as you may learn something quite a bit more useful than a history lesson... </span>

<span>climate change is a very trendy topic now....and many of its proponents are absolutely convinced of its "science".. </span>

<span>...however, for many this absoute faith in the "science" translates all-too-easily into an absolute faith in the righteousness of the proposed "solutions"... </span>

<span>...for example, president obama recently celebrated his participation in a "landmark" international accord to combat climate change... many of his supporters lauded him for "taking a stand against global corporations and their exploitation of people and natural resources..." </span>

<span>great.... right? </span>

<span>this agreement contained two provisions that seemingly went unnoticed.... first, nations considered "developing" will not have to comply with the strict emmisions restrictions... second, all nations are required to designate a certain percentage of their natural forests & jungles as untouchable "preserves." </span>

<span>sounds good.... right? please think it through... </span>

<span>the agreement gives these nations the authority to displace any indigenous peoples who just happen to call those "preserves" home... over a million people are expected to be kicked off their ancestral lands in DR Congo alone. </span>

<span>keep in mind that most of these people will be illiterate hunter-gatherers ... how do you think they will manage to support themselves? </span>

<span>guess what? because those nations will not be required to meet environmental standards, a bunch of new factories, mines and refineries are sure to open up there....and they'll have all the cheap labor they could ever need! Yay! </span>

<span>and guess who owns those businesses? that's right, mega-corporations...guess who those corporations support? that's right... the very politicians who signed the climate change deal! </span>

<span>so you were asking about how "pseudo science" supports/justifies exploitation and imperialism? well....as the old rhyme goes: the wheels on the bus keep on going 'round and 'round... don't they?</span>
