it's everyone once again blaming scientists for Politicians failing to listen to them.

Blaming scientists and science communication for politicians flat out ignoring any and all warnings is asinine at best, most likely just straight up malicious as ignoring climate change by politicians has had a profit motive throughout.

I am literally finishing a dissertation on how scientific information has been valued & prioritized by Congressional staffers from the 20th century through the Biden administration.

So for now I’ll just say, if you’re interested in the relationships between #science policy, #ClimateChange, lobbyists, researchers, media & #scicomm, stay tuned… /2

Ultimately, ALL man-made catastrophes, bar none, are #PublicEducation failures.

Sure, but face it: the scientific literature is not featured by the news media, and not often presented in forms that are likely to gain public appreciation.

Proposing: 1) Do what the devious disinformation specialists do: focus on youtube content - with plain language.

2) Regulate #Google to have it label youtube bullshit that is bullshit as bullshit -- or to put nicely: There is no credible evidence to make the claims within this video.

@mikeblake I would guess that the editor who wrote the headline is probably not the journalist who wrote the rest.

I’ve had that happen to me many times over the years.

And on that day they'll tell you
That life hummed on with no clue
The warning signs were all dismissed or shouted down
So it goes
The kings all failed to tell us
The madmen failed to sell us
On what would then befall the only life we'd know

- Rise Against, "Endgame"

I think about this lyric... a lot, when discussing climate change
