"The academia" just cares where its next grant is coming from and who it has to schmooze to get it, which is generally politicians and government. They are not even close to politically unbiased or independent. Its why so much of academia are liberal and vote Democrat (or Socialist and Communist).
So corporate steering is bad? But political steering is good? Seems hypocritical.
The planet is over populated. Mother Nature gives us plagues and viruses and we keep fucking her off.
Maybe we are supposed to be warming up. Just because a bunch of people scream that it's bad and how dare you, does not make it so.
Yes, professors and grad students, etc doing research, at universities and colleges. Most won't buck the system that gets them tenure, their mansions, cars, country club memberships, vacation homes, etc, through public and corporate grants. Its nice that some will go against the grain for the science even when its a detriment to themselves (neo-Galileo's).When I say “academia”, I’m referring to the scientists that collect the data, interpret the data
Scary to read some of this.
@matthewk04 You pretty much get it.
@NavyChief Give me one good way of disposing of the waste from nuclear plants (half life of ~forever).
@DungeonDweller The VAST majority of the scientific community outside the reach of corporate steering, the academia, understand that we have too many people that are doing too many things that influence the world around us negatively. Not just warming, but plastic pollution, over farming, mass deforestation of rainforests and other natural habitats that this earth needs. Y’all think the whole world should be concrete and metal and people?
Some of y’all are smarter than this.
I do agree that this is bullshit and needs fixed.The plastic pollution is terrifying. Plastic is in the stomach of every animal in the world down to the deepest depths of the ocean. Read a great piece today on the single use plastics industry and how they’ve managed to get us to blame ourselves for their terrible choices.
I do agree that this is bullshit and needs fixed.
I wish more people would take care of the waters of all sorts, that we use. Oceans, lakes rivers and creeks.
End of fukking discussion...Every time my lady and I go to the nude beach, we fill up a bag full of garbage on short walks. Picture included (of her) in order to cool down the discussion, pun intended.

Rain forest dwindling away, where is this happening because of increased warmth?
Brazil Forest are being cut down by man made saws, not climate change.
