A more appropriate name for this liberal fiasco would be “March for Government Grants”. “Planet B”. Cute.

Science is not a consensus, it’s a process.

There is legitimate room for scientific disagreement on any scientific argument. Those disagreements are not “anti” science, they are part of science.

The “March for Science” is not about science, the process.

It is purely about politics and the purely political attempt to silence some scientific opinions over others.

I just walked to my mailbox and came back with a missive from some “Clean Energy” Company, urging me to force my Electric Company to buy energy from THEM to save the earth. After pages of glowing rhetoric was the caveat that “Of course your monthly bill will be HIGHER because it costs money to save the Earth”.

I may not have just fallen off the turnip truck, but I wasn’t born yesterday! LOL!

If they are worried about carbon then why are they opposed to nuclear power?


Because they saw Jane Fonda’s movie “The China Syndrome”, and were convinced that Three Mile Island was an actual meltdown as warned about in the movie. Facts don’t matter. ONly the narrative matters...............

Well, at least we’ve still got Planet X.


Don’t forget Planet Claire.

No one ever dies there.

Oooh! A line stretching for more than two blocks.

So, basically like your average Star Wars movie opening.

Yup, these green energy scams have been around for years; if you subscribe to one, your electricity will come from the exact same source except you'll pay more per KWH, but at least you'll feel good about yourself :-)

It’s called “Virtue Signaling”

Feeling Good about saving the erf is pointless unless you let everybody know about it.

Failed Chicken Little computer models pumped out for highly politicized grant money from a community that has been caught lying, distorting, and hiding data is not the essence of science. Rather it is a tumor on the side of science that begs to be removed.

Oh yeah, out here you can put a Blue Sky Energy yardsign in your front yard to show your neighbors your moral superiority and that you CARE more than them, LOL.

These are the B-list scientists who rely on government grants to do worthless research to fill their quotas.

We could use some science. We have been idolizing speculations that are based on scientistic talk but not science.

oh yes! I have seen similar signs.

I suppose to some people, such moral superiority is well worth the extra monthly charge.

Yes, science is under attack ... by the #FakeScience GlobalWarming/ClimateChange kooks.
