Scientific American Editor In Chief Speaks Out

“Laura Helmuth (@laurahelmuth.bsky.social):

“I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of fucking fascists”

“Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because fuck them to the moon and back”

“Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist. The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself”

Election Results

“They degraded him, ransacked his home, falsely impeached him twice, waged bogus lawfare against him in every woke, leftist shit hole in America, called him “Hitler” and his followers “garbage,” and when all else failed, they shot him in the face.”

“America is a failed Democracy.
Our media failed us, our institutions failed us, our people failed us.
Worst of all, we now pose a major threat to the planet.”

“Glaciers, Icebergs Melt As World Gets Warmer”

According to the IPCC and Michael Mann, glaciers which formed during the Little Ice Age were disappearing during the coldest period of the last millennium.

“glaciers in nearly all parts of the world receded regularly during the last sixty years but especially rapidly during the 1930-40 decade.”

All glaciers examined from Greenland through Scandinavia to Europe are shrinking. And the shrinkage is not limited to high latitudes. Some glaciers in the European Alps have vanished completely. In East Africa, the glaciers on three high volcanoes—Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya and Ruwenzori—have been diminishing since they were first observed in 1880. The vast Muir Glacier in Alaska’s Glacier Bay has retreated a full 14 miles since 1902.”
