Just because you didn’t hear about it…
Does not mean it didn’t happen.
Just because you don’t know about it…
Does not mean it doesn’t exist.
Fingers in your ears, shouting
La la la la
Does not remove that which you do not want to hear
From being said
The sheer volume of things happening we do not know about
Could fill the world we live in every day, with most of what is in it
The things we do know about are usually the important bits
So the recent effort to remove global warming science reports
from government websites
Including NASA and
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Will not change reality.
It may not even impact public opinion or awareness
What it does show will come as no surprise to anyone
the US government currently has it’s head
completely up it’s ass
So… what do we do about it?
We continue to bring the science news
The good news, the bad news,
the “I didn’t even know that was a thing” news
Because that’s all we can do in this moment here on
This Week in Science
Quick Science News!
Bad Science Writing
How much is AI these days?
Exercise Pill
Gets closer to being a thing
Helping out Birds
By feeding predators…?
Stir It Right!
Just like 007, chemistry has specifications. This one is stir, don’t shake.
Living Longer
Without being a dwarf
Orcas
Feeding their pet humans
