Politics and Science are not entirely compatiable because they have different motives. Sciences wants to understand the world around us, and it doesnt matter if that understanding sounds good or not. Politics wants to appease the population so that politicians can stay in power, and often times religion and ignorance are a better rallying force for politicians than science and knowledge.
"God is on our side" is a more pleasing motto than "you need to consume less to ease our demand on unrenewable resources and help our environment."
