This needs more love for the protest signs alone

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

We can’t have the things we drive, ride on, fly in, or drool over without math & science.

...Nor a planet to do those things on...oh yeah, Happy Earth Day!

Have some The Doctor for your time.

Everybody knows science and facts are just made up evilness (unless it can make somebody a lot of money).

Climate change denial, alternative facts, politics over science, health, etc.

It is more of a rally than a protest

So basically everything the Weather Channel has done.

I’m biased because a good friend of mine quit there because making weather trackable ob social media was more important than proper modeling forecasts. If you wonder why their forecasting has gotten terrible in the last few years it’s because he quit to teach high school science.

Feelings over evidence. Inexperienced people in power/control.

You can spin it however you want but the “fake” science BS has been happening well before Trump’s election. Not saying the protests are unwarranted, or Trumps policies are good (They Aren’t) but it is more than a political issue.

Lately these protests don’t seem to have any purpose behind them. It’s just let’s show off how pissed off we are and trend on social media, instead of having an actual discussion that has merit.

The problem with outrage is nothing get’s accomplished, sure there will be coverage of this for 24 hours max, bt it’s gone after that. By in large many people are thinking “oh look another protest what’s new on Netflix?” Instead energies need to be made to make media that matters that shows reason. Bill Nye has been doing an excellent job of this, no protest signs that most people have no clue about needed.

Go make your own protest elsewhere

It’s not necessarily an anti trump protest, there are Trump related undertones to the US protests, but it’s a global protest on Earth day. It’s not totally trumpular, man.

...“fake” science BS has been happening well before Trump’s election...

No argument here only a quibble about the seeming recency of it all. Nah, just a little “chloride of lime” and we’ll be good to go. Sure sounds scientific. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/07/great-stink-1858/

This is the way I see it, as do a lot of others in my circle. More of a protest against anti-science and anti-intellectualism than against Trump.

Everyone’s for science until they learn that facts show pipelines are the safest method for transporting fluid hydrocarbons :/

The problem wasn’t the Keystone pipeline itself, it was where they were building it, over the biggest aquifer in the country, and straight through Sioux cultural sites. Even if it is the safest method, any spill would be dangerous and building it there is an unnecessary risk.

Any spill is dangerous everywhere, but a pipeline is the least dangerous solution. Without pipelines, you have oil trains, and most rail lines understandably run through population centers.

You miss my point by miles, it is not do nothing, it’s do things that make a difference.

So your comment is that if people are finally at a breaking point and want to protest they shouldn’t because they didn’t protest before?

LiFox > My X-type is too a real Jaguar 04/23/2017 at 05:45

The problem is scientists are actively being told they can’t make a difference because of political policy.

I’m betting not too many of them are scientists.
