global warming is fake shut the f%%% up. your stats are “paid for”. oh yeah and climate change can define anything but you sheep know that. its mostly sunny and 73 but the next hour it is partly sunny and 74. that is climate change by its own division. we have had cold for years. we have had heat for years. we have had everything inbetween. these warming hoaxers started this chit back in 2005 with hurricane katrina and the one year we had a big spike in hurricanes and they quickly blamed george w bush/kyoto protocol.

these hoaxers are funny because they really beLIEve this crap and their leader al “manbearpig” gore and his huge carbon footprint and his flop of a inconvenient lie part 2 which got mostly ignored by the american public who are tired of these preaching blowhards who “do as i say not as i do” lifestyle.

I recall a certain Bart Sibrel demanding an apology from Buzz Aldrin for perpetuating another “hoax”. That worked out better than expected.

@ ^ Marco & dean : yes, indeed.

Trump’s (s)election has had, is having and will continue to have just catastrophic consequences not just for the United States but for the rest of our world too. This sadly being just exhibit one thousand and one of them. Still such depressing and awful news.

Today seems like the time to point out that President Trump has been attacking workers’ rights and safety guidelines as well. There has already been an immense amount of damage in that area.

#10 Ok. I getcha. I do feel ” moving backwards ” is a bit strong.
I read the term as if knowledge is somehow being lost. And dont believe that is so. Knowledge is steadily increasing for humanity, and that includes americans, who in fact can access it better than many due to wealth and communications infrastructure.
I certainly agree its a real shame whats happening in your amazing ,dynamic , creative country, in terms of a stiffling of intellect. Saying that, I reckon its transient in nature, and will pass. Perhaps take heart in the fact that Opportunity is still moving about the Martian surface, a testament to your countries abilities. And yas turn out some damn fine WMDs as well.
Sagans well articulated fears will not eventuate.

#4: I think you’ve mistaken my windmill for a dragon. I’ve understood “American exceptionalism” to mean that we in the U. S. assume that we have nothing important to learn from other countries or cultures because our country is so different (and superior). If there is any American exceptionalism in my post it is just the implicit hope that the rest of the world is not following our example of substituting fantasy for science.

I began my post with a sentence on the American election results, expecting that it would therefore be clear that my later statement about “moving backwards” would be interpreted as a purely American movement — and an extremely regrettable one. I am a citizen of the U. S. A. so of course I am interested and dismayed by what is happening in my country. I am expecting a drying up of the government funding for any science that contradicts the fantasies of significant portions of the Republican Part’s base, or even worse, shifting of funding to the pseudoscience that they favor. None of this may mean anything to you in Oz but it means something to me.

Greg, what must be done to get a well organized National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as a truly independent agency of the federal administration of the USA, responsible for the American space program?

I would sign that petition but would have to lie about being somewhere in the US. Although ’tis true the UK May follow Hawaii and Oregon by becoming another state of the USA, one fittingly named after an aircraft carrier.
