    It’s so sad. Study after study have shown that the ROI on publicly funded research is anywhere from 20% to 100% depending on the industry.

    These morons don’t understand science enough to even realize how they benefit from it every day.

      Damn near everything in our modern world is a consequence of research. Why do people never realized this? Your phone is not just some magic object from the heavens.

        Yeah but, what’s science done for us all lately? Some scientists even say stuff that makes me uncomfortable and I don’t like it.

        People in UFO communities actually do think some technology came from the heavens.

        What does that have to do with publicly funding science?

        Oh man, you’re going for a reality check if you think that neo liberalism politics, anti science, climate change denial is going to solve any of your problems. Maybe it will solve, for the 1%.

        It wasn’t that close of a call dude. You still have 45% of your country that might disagree

        The Peronists aren’t left wing though; they’re nationalists, not socialists.

    It’s astonishing and terrible to see populist politicians still saying that climate change is a hoax - and getting elected. It’s never been more obvious that what scientist have been saying about global warming (e.g. Exxon’s scientists have been saying since 1977) is true and having real world consequences today.

      Is it in reaction to everything getting scary? It’s such a seductive alternative to accepting that we’re fucked - just put your faith in someone who says it’s all untrue. A cartoon parent figure to comfort you as the word burns.

      I can’t put into words what I think about people who even doubt climate change, let alone deny its existence. I just… if the data isn’t enough, I honestly don’t know what to say.

        How about the people that welcome climate change? So much rain in California it kept the Jewish Space Lasers from igniting the forests this year.

        In Michigan Deer season starts on November 15, and this year it was 60°F where I am. I mowed the lawn Saturday. I’ve never seen t-shirt weather this late in the year. I’m a little terrified this warm weather is going to bury us in snow come January.
