BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Prof Bill McGuire, Professor Emeritus of Geophysical & Climate Hazards, UCL, said: “The tragic events in Texas are exactly what we would expect in our hotter, climate-changed, world. There has been an explosion in extreme weather in recent years, including more devastating flash floods caused by slow-moving, wetter, storms, that dump exceptional amounts of rain over small areas across a short time. This frequently overwhelms river catchments leading to severe damage to adjacent infrastructure and loss of life. Such events will only become more commonplace as the global temperature continues to climb, driven by carbon dioxide emissions that still top 40 billion tonnes every year.”

This climate catastrophe coming on the US's independence day is a reminder that we were never independent of nature and never will be, and that there is a terrible cost to undermining its elegant systems...

Although I have a soft spot for interactions with public sculpture no matter how silly

Nice!

You don't have to be an art historian specializing in monuments, art of the U.S., or portraits of POTUS (cough) to understand that this is about perpetuating a personality cult not simply "well earned recognition"

Grrrr.

A bust of MLK in the Oval Office, a framed print of Trump's mug shot just outside.

I'm happy you've revisited this

Clinton acquired the bust of MLK for the White House in 1990, and Obama moved it into the Oval Office.
