I don’t know, there is a lot of error and a lot of deceit out there.

And absolutely no dialogue going on at the moment, because the “settled science” is, quickly as possible, being turned into “settled law”.

Except there is NEVER either “settled science” or “settled law”. Both are subject to reversals and challenges as new circumstances and anomalies for both keep turning all the time, and often inconveniently for the absolutists.

The science is ongoing. The best tools for earth system science are satellites that observe the earth and sun.

The Jason 3 satellite was launched just a few days ago and is the latest in ocean topography science.

The GOP is moving hard and fast to shut down these satellites down because they don't like the science or the data gathered by the satellites.

The irony of that is that the GOP, back in the 1980s, pushed NASA towards exploring the earth.
