"Journalism should reflect what science says: the climate emergency is here," Scientific American senior editor Mark Fischetti said in a Monday post about the magazine's decision.

To make his point, Fischetti pointed to the mounting number of weather-related disasters that most scientists agree stem from climate change.

"A hurricane blasts Florida. A California dam bursts because floods have piled water high up behind it. A sudden, record-setting cold snap cuts power to the entire state of Texas," Fischetti wrote. "These are also emergencies that require immediate action. Multiply these situations worldwide, and you have the biggest environmental emergency to beset the earth in millennia: climate change."

I think we are beyond peak society and in the decline called the age of retard.

Is it enough of an emergency that they’ve quit driving cars, given up air conditioning, and quit printing the bird-cage liner version of their artilces?

Nah, I didn’t think so.

Oh....a hurricane “blasts” Florida.

Like that never happened centuries and centuries ago.

What do these idiots at the “Unscientific UnAmerican” think caused the Spanish galleons to sink in the 1500’s?

The only thing that’s warming up is the drama. Where do you go after “emergency”, “disaster”? “Catastrophe”? “Armageddon”? “Götterdämmerung”? A scruffy-looking robin crapped on my jeep today. I think I’ll call it “Spring”.

A California dam bursts because floods have piled water high up behind it it was in disrepair thanks to the state of CA misusing Federal funds allocated for its maintenance.

They got away with seizing dictatorial powers with the COVID “emergency.” They realize they have less than two years before the next election to declare a climate change “emergency” and seize dictatorial powers forever. It is beginning.

This is the same magazine that became the first science publication to officially endorse a presidential candidate....guess who. They broke ranks because the other candidate fails to take science seriously. Non partisan science publication my back side... wonder who owns it...Disney?

> “... senior editor Mark Fischetti”

Don’t know a thing about this guy but why wait until now? I’d bet it has something to do with an ominous budget tweak.

Gotta ramp up the fear porn.

Climate change hysteria has taken a back seat to COVID hysteria.

by attacking those types of COLD FUSION which work
well (not F+P type), the USPTO and Scientific American
have PREVENTED further development, and they themselves
are 100% responsible for the absence of a clean environment.

they both should be investigated and punished.

Sounds like the Left fully completed their takeover of the magazine...so why hide their agenda, at this point?

I suggest calling it ‘Climate Witchcraft’ to keep up with the spirit of the times.

How about changing the name of the magazine instead?

State Science Institute American ?

Ministry of Truth American ?Science

People's Republic of Science American?
