They aren't trying to make the general public aware of anything, they're trying to distill information for policy-makers. If they don't consider that information when researching policy options, the office-holders are limited to just what they learn on their own. Even for those that want to consider science and…

Well, I have zero interest in B v S. Not a Superman fan, bored with the whole schtick. Don't really care if Warner moves the opening or not, I probably won't be seeing it until it hits cable. But I'm probably in the minority.

Enough people to fund a movie, so there's that.

I didn't think the 3rd season of Sherlock was that bad, just lazy, although this season's Watson was uncomfortably similar to Bilbo and the end of episode 3 should've stayed in Dr Who where it belongs... every screen in the country, right as the plane takes off; REALLY?

I enjoyed Dhalgren a lot; or I did the last time I re-read it, 15 years ago or so. Dune, as well. Foundation and 1984, well... I read them, but didn't love them.
