Stumped? Really? It’s happening all over. Florida. New York. Out on the west coast. Around the world. It’s either toxins or temperature. Or both. And either way, humans are at least partially responsible.
So let’s keep being stumped, scientists. If you can even call yourself that, in this post-truth age, where science is the pawn of politics rather than slave to truth and fact.

All in all, 2016 also sucked for Mother Earth. Between the oil spills, air pollution, nuclear waste and climate change, we turned up the pressure in an already stressed global ecosystem. Humans must come to understand, and approach, zero impact living if we expect to survive on this world.

Fuck you 2016. You’ve been a terrible year. You’ve taken some of our favorite musicians and actors, and given us President Donald Trump. We’re glad to see you go, and eager for 2017 to take your place. 365 chances for a better tomorrow. Goodbye 2016. Thanks for nothing but trouble.

AND here we see one of the BIGGEST problems with science in America. If you can call it that.
We should leave science to scientists. That way, when we look at scientific facts, we will know they are actually factual and not political instruments pretending to be science in our Alt-Post-Half-Truth society.
So many questions…How does a social activist who is a trained lawyer get published in a scientific journal? Does being President suddenly qualify you to be an expert in EVERYTHING? How is Obamacare a topic in a scientific journal anyway? WTF happened to SCIENCE and the Scientific Method?
No wonder climate change deniers don’t trust science. Apparently anybody can take whatever topic they want, call it science, and get published. Why should ANYONE trust scientists if they think Obama is qualified to write for a scientific publication…much less be the MOST POPULAR article?

If the coral reefs are allowed to die, up to 1/4 of all the ocean species will perish with them. Even species that don’t live near, or depend directly on coral reefs, feed on species that depend on those reefs. The ocean will be changed forever…and not in a positive way…if we don’t stop the destruction of these delicate ecosystems.
