I find it interesting when liberals I know parrot the phrase, "the science is SETTLED!". When did you every hear any credible scientist ever say the science was settled on anything? If you know anything about physiology or even nutrition, you know how much that has flip flopped in just the last decade. You could start listing the items that we had one thought on at one time and have then moved from that initial thought and you would never end the list. But, let's take that one more step. If the science is truly settled, as the left wants to stand on, that means we can then cut off all funding immediately for any of their research. Why bother any more? It's settled. There is not one more thing to learn regarding the climate. Ever. Again. It's "settled". When I told one liberal that, they did the classic cartoon response of "um....er.......ah..........". Loved it. Small victories can be fun.

Nothing new there overall, especially in schools. Scientists have always had to play up to someones preconceived notions be they private or public for funding for their work. Used to be at places like Tech you were able to just do pure objective science and still get the support from the school. Sadly that doesn't seem to be true now.
So she is retiring and cashing out as she even admits. Yet to somehow make her feel better she claims nobody wants to listen to her and she knows all truth. That is what is wrong with Universities right now - shitty attention whore professors.
Can you even imagine how epic the next 8 years is going to be, and just wait until the Dems lose more Senate seats in the mid terms. There's a whole damn generation that is going to have PTSD.
Yes,, we have global warming,, and we have global cooling.. It's cyclical. I've asked didn't we have ice ages in the past.. They say yes.. What caused it, what could we have done to stop it.. Once it was here, what could we have done to reverse it. Either way, the nut's on either side seem to repeat adam and eve's bit.. They want to be god.. We can NOT effect enough change in either case.. Put another way,, if it's global cooling, just what would we need to do to stop the cooling. Or if global warming, what would need to be done. The later group says it's to late but if we start living in the dark, have NO car's or motorcycle's we can limit the damage. Funny thing is, just watched a mock u mentory. (they presented it as fact) IN 1.5 billion years, the sun will expand and engulf the earth. Get ready.
Even more important: none of the nutjobs saying we need to go back to the dark ages are leading by example. They are flying around the world in private jets telling other people how to live.
