Frame One:  Lars:  It checks out.  Jeffrey:  Yeah, but I dunno.  Danae:  Uh, what's going on?  Jeffrey:  Lars has a solution to our problem with climate change.  Frame Two:  Danae:  Great.  Tell me about it.  Jeffrey:  Well, Lars can have the secret satellites he has around the Earth emit a constant E. M. P.  Lars:  Just for a century or so.  Frame Three:  Lars continues:  Electro magnetic pulse.  It knocks out anything electronig, which would bring all industry and our civilization to a halt.  Of course, that would lead to mass pamic, rioting, and food wars, bringing up to near extinction while the Earth normalizes.  Frame Four:  Danae:  Oh.  OK . . . as long as I can get an internet connection, I'm good with that.  Frame Five:  Lars:  I thought you were just being hyperbolic when you said you live in the anti-science epoce.  Jeffrey:  Whis is ironically fitting for getting sent back to the middle ages.

The writer of a letter to the editor of my local rag is not sanguine.

Objectiveng to Science 0

At the Bangor Daily News, Basav Sen of the Climate Policy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies outlines the Trump administration’s war on science. A snippet:

Recently, the Department of Energy began referring to natural gas as “freedom gas,” which sounds like something straight out of satire site The Onion. Unintentional humor aside, this choice of terminology resembles the calculated debasement of language by totalitarian states.

Last November, when a report by government scientists contradicted Trump’s position and showed that the United States will suffer devastating consequences from climate change, the president simply declared that reality was irrelevant. “I don’t believe it” was his response.
