Public perception of scientists, and what we can do about it
By Donna Nelson, ACS President
Why do scientists so often get a bad rap in the minds of the general public?....

==============
That article begins by stating that the public has such a bad perception of scientists because tv shows portray scientists badly.
Yeah, right. Gimmeabreak. So what they need is better propaganda flooding the public about the virtues of scientists. Like we have with homosexuals on just about every sitcom on tv. Brainwash the public. That's their answer.
Here's an idea. How about they simply stop lying to the public about science? Stop being willing to cast aside all integrity in the pursuit of their political beliefs?
Nah, that would be too much to ask. So quiet lobbying will be taking place to portray scientists as the ultimate in integrity and virtue to the general public on tv.

Fascinating coincidence, at least to me. 5.8 million sq ft is 133 acres, which is just how many acres are in the grain growing portion of my quarter-section farm. That's huge! To walk the perimeter of my whole parcel (156 acres) takes about 45 minutes.

President Obama's Lethal Climate Legacy
As a climate activist who enthusiastically supported Obama's historic run for the White House, it did not take long at all for myself or most progressives to realize that we'd been snookered. It may be hard to remember, but back then, we had a Democrat-controlled Congress, and the whole world was ready to follow President Obama's lead. He had a once-in-a-generation opportunity to exercise that mandate at the global Climate Summit in Copenhagen in 2009, weeks after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, but instead of addressing global health, he chose to focus on reforming health care back home, in accordance with the insurance industry's wishes.
