Sure. 400 characters is really conducive to posting complex, sophisticated takes. My point to the USA that denigrating science, defunding, and politicising it is very dangerous for its prosperity and security, however, remains.

Well, compare the economic, scientific, political development of France, Britain, Netherlands, Sweden, German states, with Spain and Italy from Galileo’s death to the 19C. Italian astronomers did great work. In France.

Sure. Galileo didn’t know what Newton knew. Newton didn’t know what Maxwell knew. Maxwell didn’t know what Einstein knew. Doesn’t mean the church was “right”.

By which time the world will be past a tipping point in oil demand for transport.

“Yet we survived it and now look at us”

It’s bad enough agreeing the thermostat settings in a household. How much worse will getting 196 governments agreeing on geoengineering implementation?

Together with the general science denial that pervades the Trump administration, the USA now risks being left behind as the rest of the world invests in science and technology. Just as Catholic southern Europe was left behind after Galileo.

None of the billionaires now colluding in or actively gutting the NSF and the scientific research bodies of the USA could have made their immense fortunes without the taxpayer funded scientific research and its support infrastructure between 30& 50 years ago in the USA and elsewhere.

The wealthy are quite good at forgetting all the support they got on their way up

It’s also their neighbour’s daughter gets a place at Cambridge and the other (black) neighbour’s son gets better job than their children so they’re “DEI hires”.

Yes, it lays into the “zero sum game” mindset. If someone is doing better than you (unless they’re billionaires) it’s at your expense.

A reminder, Mandelson is UK ambassador to the USA, not to Ukraine.

Dear Prime Minister: in light of Trump’s disgraceful bullying of Zelensky today, can you please, please, please cancel the State Visit? A boor like Trump does NOT deserve to be honored by the British state.

If climate change is the hoax claimed by Trump and the MAGA, why didn’t they offer to keep on those scientists who agreed to publish papers refuting the AGW narrative?
