Who’s Qualified To Make Statements on Matters of Science?
Runoff from Icecap
I received a response to my post in which I quoted the American Institute of Physics, re: Donald Trump’s candidate to lead NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Jim Bridenstine, in which I wrote:
Bridenstine, an ardent climate denier, proposes that NASA amend its institutional objectives. This would include eliminating current objectives for the “expansion of human knowledge of the Earth and of phenomena in the atmosphere and space” and the conduct of studies on “the utilization of aeronautical and space activities for peaceful and scientific purposes.” (more…)

From Guest Blogger Dixie Somers: How Environmental Improvements Affect Animals

Our actions have either positive or negative impacts on our ecosystems. (more…)
Go ahead. Think differently. It’s OK.
In response to a recent post, MarcoPolo, who never misses a trick, writes: Did you ever pause for a minute and just consider how your hysterical diatribe sounds to the average person?
This is a great question, as I do care what the average person thinks. It was precisely the Democrats failing to concern themselves with what the average person thought in 2016 that gave us our current wall-building, pu**y-grabbing, environment-destroying, Nazi-supporting president.
On the other hand, it reminds me of a story. (more…)

Why Is There Such a Low Incentive To Innovate in the CleanTech Space?

The videos linked below deal with “cashier-free smart grocery stores,” and are very typical of the cool things she sends me, and I’m very grateful to be kept in the loop–an arena that would otherwise go right over my head.
