The anti-science jackass is doing irreparable harm to our country, and entire world, and he’s only just begun….

 The scientific enterprise has been a particular target of this president and the highly unqualified people he has appointed to oversee U.S. science institutions. They use their protected positions to reduce hard-won science knowledge to ashes. It doesn’t matter whether the topic is vaccines, infectious disease, common and rare human diseases, basic chemistry and biochemistry, climate and Earth, even fundamental physics: If they don’t understand it or if it offends their belief systems, it must be destroyed.

These modern arsonists are trying to incinerate the very basis for much of the scientific knowledge we have gained: The vast reserves of fundamental data from which all science proceeds and upon which it is validated. Basically, any unbiased observation or measurement that leads to reasoned conclusions incompatible with their own misunderstanding of the scientific world is a threat that must be obliterated.

There are many examples of their efforts (NIH, CDC, NSF, FDA, etc.), but the most recent and deeply alarming is the threatened dismantling of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), based in Boulder. 

I could go on and on, but why? If you can’t see what’s going on, remover your head from your MAGA ass….
