For later
I saw this as well. It seems to me that if some “facts” like we see in this post (volcanoes etc.) are presented then there should be something to back them up. Otherwise they are too easily challenged as you can see by clicking on your link.
It’s not a good idea for us to fall into the same trap that the Lefties do - accepting everything based on consensus/credentials. A little scientific proof would be a much better choice.
Volcanoes are evil and should be banned!
Thanks for the link. I’m still wearin’ that big scarlet “D” around though regardless of Plimers “debunking”. :>}

Sure, it is an interesting read, but I think I went through a pound of salt the more I perused.
You and me both...
Yeah. I just saw that. At least she didn’t do a piece on NASA and mu-slime outreach. :>}
It is sad what passes for “intellectual rigor” these days isn’t it?
pretty hard to lose a gubmint job while advocating for more gubmint. after all, that is their real 'job'.
