The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, so many more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics" #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America
This quote serves equally well for #Fascism as it does #ClimateChange and indeed so much else. It's well past time we got serious and a great many of us, our leadership most of all, remain as frivolous, under-informed & drastically unsuited to the challenge as we've ever been. #ClimateSky

Hiltzik: Scientists strive to be apolitical, but they can't keep politics out of their labs
Since Galileo's time, politicians and ideologues have always tried to interfere with science. It's worse than ever today.
