planet earth from space

Funny, last I checked many of the astronauts who landed on the moon are republicans. That you want to pretend we're not scientifically inclined is hilarious.

ok, upvote for you, I know of course that there are scientifically inclined Republicans, this is imgflip where rhetoric is king. However, The party as a whole does have a problem with science. Climate change denial reigns right up there. The government under Trump has a record of cancelling studies that might have findings that are unwelcome to what they want to achieve politically. https://www.ucsusa.org/news/press_release/state-of-science-in-the-trump-era is a link of the kind of thing that I'm talking about it.

TBH, both sides are guilty of suppressing scientific studies that don't fit the agenda, but when it comes to climate change, yeah, it's mostly the right. The country seems to be doing a pretty good job of emissions reduction despite that, though. It's a good thing the private sector can operate independently of the public sector, both in research and applying the results of said research.

Curious though, for all I've heard the left talk about how we need to slow down climate change, everything points to this warming period being virtually irreversible at this point. Why aren't they talking about what we need to do to survive it once the change is fully matured, rather than just slow down something that's unstoppable? And why are they still totally opposed to nuclear power, when it's the cleanest and most efficient form of energy we currently have?

it would have been funnier if you had said 'and fell off the planet'

wow cool man thanks
