Meet the silenced climate scientists

Post Reply New Topic

When Trump came into power, he made sure that the climate scientists were silenced or no longer allowed to say that climate change is real:

Climate scientists who defied him were demoted or removed from their positions altogether, with their reports edited to remove any mention of human actions as a cause of changes to public lands.

The Trump Administration is the single greatest threat to humanity there is.

8 times the Trump Administration has silenced scientists:

The ideologues of the right with their culture wars have always been the enemies of science.

The funny thing is, when there was a left-wing government here in Australia, they too banned open debate on the subject.
The way I see it, both sides of American politics are as bad as each other.

Here in Australia, however, that sort of bias isn't nearly as bad now that the conservative party is still in government.
I think they are even sponsoring Peter Ridd, the guy who challenged the idea that the barrier reef was being decimated by global warming.
It seems to me they are more likely to give each perspective a "fair suck of the sav".
Not 100% sure about this and will keep an eye on it since I am not into partisan politics.



Perhaps in America.
Perhaps because many conservatives there are religious folk.

Australia is overwhelmingly secular in nature.
I lean towards conservative politics and am a hard-core atheist.
I have come to the strong conclusion that your conservatives over there and my conservatives over here are two different types "of fish", pardon the pun.

Australian conservatives tend to have a great affinity with science, "don't you worry about that", as Bjelke Petersen would have said.

How does it feel.

That very well maybe so.
