They have to remove himβ¦ itβs unsustainable
Thatβs what Iβm thinking
Incredible morning spotting 12 endangered North Atlantic Right Whales off Herring Cove Beach , Cape Cod, with my UMass Dartmouth biology students!
"Why has the public gutting of science not caused an immediate political backlash? The authors of the culling have correctly recognized that the public has no idea how science works and has no connection to scientists who arenβt on television" π§ͺβοΈ
Was wondering if there are any billionaires who would like to quickly step up and fund an experiment of the science, education, and health system we really want. Plenty of top talent in the U.S. ready to go. As a model for scaling up when weβre out of this mess.

This is beyond Biblical levels of evil. It is truly hard to imagine.
You choose to make insulin more expensive. To make pregnancy more dangerous. To attack wind farms and scientific experts. You punish the sick, needy, disadvantaged, and even the empathetic and call them the enemy.
But, with that power, you choose to celebrate violent white supremacist groups, to spread lies, to promote dirty energy sources in order to make even more money, to attack simply fair opportunity for all.
With that incredible money and influence, mega-billionaires could
Promote peace
Eliminate world hunger
Give free top-quality education to every child.
Save entire ecosystems.
Fund and accelerate ALL the efforts to slow climate change.
and just help solve problems
Imagine - just imagine - having literally HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars AND the power to influence through a communication device in the hands of half the worldβs population.

Hello :) just an h and the continental US separates us.
About 1000 years ago, Taino people spent quite a lot of effort carving symbols of life (as spirals) and coqui frogs into this amazing rock at la Piedra Escrita, next to a gorgeous swimming hole in the mountains of Puerto Rico.
With the incoming administration, there's going to be a lot of bullshit and misinformation about offshore wind floating around. Here is a well-documented summary of the best scientific information on the subject:

Cool tree roots and cool kid on a walk in New Hampshire.
This is fun.
