Kathleen Hartnett White, Trump’s former nominee to head the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a Senate hearing last month that she thinks we “need to have more precise explanations of the human role and the natural role” in climate change (Mooney).

The same entreaties crop up again and again: We need to root out conflicts. We need more precise evidence. What makes these arguments so powerful is that they sound quite similar to the points raised by proponents of a very different call for change that’s coming from within science. This other movement strives to produce more robust, reproducible findings. Despite having dissimilar goals, the two forces espouse principles that look surprisingly alike:

Science needs to be transparent.

Results and methods should be openly shared so that outside researchers can independently reproduce and validate them.

The methods used to collect and analyze data should be rigorous and clear, and conclusions must be supported by evidence.
