I drank an entire gallon of whole milk yesterday. From the plastic jug thingy.

I know. I mean they link to it in this article, but if it talked about Trump’s purported reasoning for doing it, I missed it.

Yeah, I was going to mention the military, but I really do wish they’d be more public/vocal about it when asked. It’d really help.

So you’re saying that climate change is both inconvenient and true? If only there was some sort of prominent public figure who made that his or her flagship statement on the issue.

Good to see his “boy giving an oral report on a book he never read” pose during the campaign is going to continue into his Presidency

Stay safe. At the risk of drawing comparisons to the right’s perceived war on Christmas and all that bullshit, I’m worried there is a real coordinated war on academia and critical thinking right now.

I’m sincerely terrified that I am going to end up on some blacklist. What I teach is generally considered non-political, but these insane Trumpkins are going after everyone at this point. Shades of Mao, tbh.

It is totally a purge.

I know Dunning-Kruger and all, but I’m just wondering exactly how delusional you have to be to think you know more than thousands of scientists, when your greatest accomplishment was getting to third base with your second cousin after homecoming.

That’s very true...but consider the changes in automotive emissions, which began in 1970 or so. When emissions controls began, flying into Los Angeles, the air was a brown hazy smoke that hung over the city. New York was almost as bad. It took time, but LA has air now. That is a tangible benefit of the EPA’s…

You know who also believes in Climate Change?
Exxon Mobil!

That’s one the hopes that I cling to in the dead of night- global warming is considered a fact by way too many governmental agencies (as well as pretty much every other country in the world) to let him burn everything down.

I was eating peanut butter out of a jar before it was cool.

Oh honey. You’re not so bad yet. I’ve gone to swigging right from the milk carton.

To be fair, we were all going to die anyway. Trump only changes how and when.

by that standard, I gave up many delicious years ago

Fun fact, you know who else believes in climate change? The DOD and they think it’s a security risk. So I suspect that while Pruitt will do his best to make childhood asthma in my hometown in WV even more of an issue than it already is, the climate scientists working as defense contractors will be safe and maybe all…

I’ve seen a few reports and heard some on NPR about this list he is compiling of people who have worked on climate change under the Obama administration.

I wish I was as confident as Trump is, regarding things I know. He sees a tweet and is like “I KNOW THIS IS TRUE” I study something for years, dedicate thousands of hours to learn something, and some rando on the internet is like “mmm, are you SURE?” and I’m googling frantically to verify that 2+2=4.

We are all gonna die.
