"War on science"?

Was there "war on science" in 1993, when President Bill Clinton signed the bill that killed the multi-billion dollar particle accelerator and officially directed the Department of Energy to oversee the shutdown, salvage, and land liquidation process?

How about also in 1993 when Senator Richard Bryon pulled the plug on SETI?

It's amazing how many people are against gaining knowledge that could help future generations. How insanely selfish that is.

I would defend the majority of people in this context whom you define as "insanely selfish". I think a more plausible explanation is that they are individuals who lacked a sound education, never received any instruction in critical thinking, are naturally gullible and have the decks stacked against them on the intellect front. When one is in a hole that deep then intuitive acts of survival, based on ones field of view, will almost certainly appear selfish. Unfortunately their anti-intellectual position just deepens the hole for the next generation. Positive feedback in action.

I don't need a $370 million ocean-floor observatory network to give me climate data on coastal environments, marine ecosystems, and powerful global ocean currents.

All I need do is go stand out in Tumon Beach for five minutes and get all the information I want for free.
