Absolutely asinine and stupid policy by the UK. Sadly I think the US already basically does this with our FDA recommendations.
I enjoy thunderstorms on occasion, certain types in particular, as they're amazing. I don't enjoy power outages, flooding, and being electrocuted. Seems like an impasse.
(snicker) I never knew that about Mel Brooks, but it makes sense.
The police should not be the people you have to turn to when dealing with someone with a mental illness. They generally aren't trained to deal with them, and will often escalate the situation despite their best intentions. The US needs to take better care of it's citizens.
*fumes* The NSF needs MORE funding, not less, and politicizing the damn thing defeats the purpose of science. I expect a number of groups (I needn't name names, you know them) to galvanize and try and oust everything that offends their delicate sense of morality.
Australia just got a lot more appealing (still not enough though, there are other issues there I don't want to deal with).
They sure as hell don't vote like, or talk like, they believe that about reproductive rights.
Regarding Not-for-profit institutions, it's not the salary of the director/ceo that you need to be concerned with. It's the overhead totals. Overhead should be low, regardless of what the pay actually is. It's a relationship not an absolute.
The climate is always changing, it's the extreme to which it is changing that is the issue. To say that it isn't changing is completely and utterly devoid of any sense of what is climate.
Good luck on trying to convince governments that a clean environment is a right, the corporations don't agree. And I do have a qualm about it, what defines "clean" you have to have standards set, but if someone doesn't agree the fight becomes over "is it clean enough" which can get nasty.
I don't see why they don't do a preliminary refinement of that oil up in Alberta. Personally I'd like to move away from needing to access it at all. The fracture techniques for getting that oil and natural gas in many places is a horrendously chemical stew that gets into the groundwater. Not worth it.
