LINK Silencing Science: A Humanist Take on Science and Politics - TheHumanist.com
The United States is a leader in scientific research, especially climate research. Without our data, other countries without the resources and infrastructure to track their own climate patterns will suffer. This administration’s willful ignorance of hard scientific evidence will not only harm the US but also damage the ability of countries who rely on our data to prepare for and respond to crises.
In addition, many upper-level science advising positions in all branches of government have still not been staffed. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy hasn’t had a director since Trump took office. Few scientists remain in the federal government to help make informed decisions about US science policy.

These are the people that believe that the Earth was created on 23 October 4004 BCE. What has science got to do with anything other than being a drain on the budget unless its funding military or pharmaceutical projects?

Unfortunately the fossil fuel industry has got a stranglehold on the country. The REALLY don't want to see their profits decline. The owners are a bunch of old, sociopathic crocs who are having a great time and know they won't be around to answer for their crimes. The best thing we can do as individuals is deny them our dollars. Find ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Go green!

I wouldn't be surprised if they started persecuting witches again.

Of course they will attack witches. Trump always rails about the "witch hunt."
I think they do. The witch just has a different face. Salem has never gone away just underground. Look at the grief you guys who live in the Bible Belt get.
