Given the growing (still) belief--or is it an 'anti-belief?'-- by Americans in the importance and consequences of science and what it does for us, I thought I would start a thread for random news,opinions or just "stuff" regarding this American phenomena.
Now, remember. I am no science guru far from it!
But I do respect and appreciate all that science and scientists do for us.
I mean, how couldn't we?
It is just bizarre how some ppl defend their positions for their nonsensical stances regarding science.
Conversely-it is also very interesting, maybe because of the growing distrust of science in America(?), how some in power use science for their advantage over us in certain 'arenas', like the hype over climate change (yes I believe it is changing--no, I do not believe we can do anything about it) to start whole new industries dedicated to "saving the planet".
So, I thought this was a good video for starters (now I just hope someone fraking comments ):
