When Trump Will Leave
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has become so popular, having joined the ranks of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists is one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
Infringing on the Rights of Others
I agree with what Ricky Gervais says here; I would only add that there are dozens of ways religion impinges on others.
In my view, the most common is that it impedes our implementing science in things like climate change mitigation. If you believe, as is explicit in the Book of Genesis, that “only God can destroy the Earth,” you have a good excuse to ignore the entirety of climate science.

I’ve always wondered what this means. Christian Science? But if you reject science and hand your diseases over to Jesus, why would you need health coverage in the first place?

Opinions on Climate Change
There are tens of millions of Americans who believe that climate change is a hoax.
The United States population is about one-third composed of uneducated folks who will believe anything Trump and ultra-right-wing “news” agencies tell them. This is not limited to climate change, but also includes what RFK, Jr. says about vaccinations, and what Pete Hegseth says about starting and conducting pointless and illegal wars.
The other two-thirds has at least some level of education and trusts our scientists to help us navigate our way forward.
The point is that it doesn’t matter what any of us “believe” about science, whether that be climate-related, evolution, gravity, the shape of the earth, etc. One either understands physics, chemistry, and biology, or one doesn’t.

Could You Be Paid to Sow Disinformation into Our Society?
99% of this is totally incorrect.
But hey, who cares, right? There’s a huge market for disinformation, and I’m sure the author of the meme here was handsomely paid.

The Value of Solar and Wind Energy in Today’s World
In addition to the point made at left, human bodies aren’t being blown to bits in our fighting over energy that is available to us all, at no cost, from that big fusion reactor 93 million miles away from us.
Insulting U.S. Allies
The point made at left is an interesting one, but it raises the question: Would our NATO allies have participated in a useless and illegal war even if Trump hadn’t insulted, bullied, and threatened them with military invasion?
I doubt it.
How Exactly DO Canadians View the U.S.?
At left we see an extremely generous viewpoint on the United States as we Americans are seen from Canada.
I have to think that a more honest statement on the topic would be, “You have a tumor, but you voted it into office. We never would have thought you were so stupid and mean.”

The “Flat Earth” Theory
This issue was solved long before our journeys into space began 65 years ago. Yes, the spherical shape of the Earth was proved 2000+ years ago by the ancient Greeks, but understanding that requires some fluency with high school math, which many Americans lack.
I’m referring to telephony, that spread around the globe in the late 19th Century. Someone in say, South Carolina, can call a friend who lives on the West Coast and ask about the sun’s position in the sky. Try to explain the discrepancy if you believe the Earth is flat.
Why would we need 24 different time zones, each 15 degrees apart?
