There is a polarizing debate about which group holds more sway in the world, politicians or scientists. Those who hold the belief that politicians are more influential point to the fact that they are the ones who make decisions that directly affect society and determine its future trajectory. They are tasked with allocating resources, regulating commerce and determining the direction of their respective countries or even the world. A good example of a politician's impact can be seen in the passing of laws that offer tax breaks for companies that invest in clean energy, thereby encouraging the growth of the sector and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Furthermore, politicians also play a key role in diplomacy and resolving conflicts between nations through negotiations and alliances. A case in point is the signing of the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2016 by multiple nations, which was achieved through diplomatic efforts.
