"I'm not a scientist" is a phrase that has been often used by American politicians, primarily Republicans, when asked about a scientific subject, such as global warming, or the age of the earth. Politicians who have used the phrase include John Boehner, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, and Mitch McConnell. It has been criticized by Coral Davenport writing for The New York Times, and by Steven Benen of the Rachel Maddow Show, and was satirized by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report. President Barack Obama singled the phrase out in his 2015 State of the Union Address, saying:

dbo:abstract
  • "No soy un científico" es una frase que han utilizado a menudo los políticos estadounidenses, principalmente los republicanos,​​​​​​​ cuando se les pregunta sobre un tema científico, como el calentamiento global​ o la edad de la Tierra.​ Entre los políticos que han utilizado la frase se encuentran John Boehner, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio,​ Bobby Jindal,​ y Mitch McConnell.​ Ha sido criticada por Coral Davenport, que escribe para The New York Times,​ y por Steven Benen, del ,​ y fue satirizada por Stephen Colbert, de The Colbert Report.​ El presidente Barack Obama destacó la frase en su discurso del Estado de la Unión de 2015, diciendo: He oído a algunas personas intentar esquivar las pruebas [del cambio climático global] diciendo que no son científicos; que no tenemos suficiente información para actuar. Bueno, yo tampoco soy científico. Pero sé que conozco a muchos científicos muy buenos en la NASA, y en la NOAA, y en nuestras principales universidades. Y los mejores científicos del mundo nos dicen que nuestras actividades están cambiando el clima y que, si no actuamos con contundencia, seguiremos viendo la subida de los océanos, olas de calor más largas y calurosas, sequías e inundaciones peligrosas y trastornos masivos que pueden desencadenar más migraciones y conflictos y hambre en todo el mundo. Ford O'Connell, estratega republicano y activista conservador, ha argumentado que la frase "no será un ganador en el campo presidencial" para los candidatos republicanos.​ Comentando el fenómeno, el periodista Dan Rather deploró la actitud anticientífica que desprende, pero afirmó que la actitud anticientífica era evidente no sólo entre los republicanos, sino en toda la sociedad estadounidense. Culpó a los medios de comunicación por su escasa cobertura de la ciencia y por presentar una falsa equivalencia entre el consenso científico y la negación del cambio climático.​ (es)

President Barack Obama singled the phrase out in his 2015 State of the Union Address, saying: I’ve heard some folks try to dodge the evidence [of global climate change] by saying they’re not scientists; that we don’t have enough information to act. Well, I’m not a scientist, either. But you know what, I know a lot of really good scientists at NASA, and at NOAA, and at our major universities. And the best scientists in the world are all telling us that our activities are changing the climate, and if we don’t act forcefully, we’ll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods, and massive disruptions that can trigger greater migration and conflict and hunger around the globe. Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist and conservative activist, has argued that the phrase "won't be a winner in the presidential field" for Republican candidates. Commenting on the phenomenon, journalist Dan Rather deplored the antiscience attitude it evinces, but stated that the antiscience attitude was evident not just among Republicans, but throughout American society. He blamed the media for their poor coverage of science, and for presenting a false equivalency between scientific consensus and climate change denial. (en)
