ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire March for Science: Rallies worldwide to protest against political interference Thousands of scientists have taken part in demonstrations around the world in protest against what they see as a global political assault on facts. The first-ever March for Science, which was timed to coincide with Earth Day, was aimed at promoting action to protect the environment. Organisers said it was a celebration of science and a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. The main event was held in Washington DC. The event's promoters said the march in the US capital was not aimed against President Donald Trump, while adding that his administration had "catalysed" the movement. At the demonstration in Washington DC, Dr Jonathan Foley, the executive director of the California Academy of Sciences, said that research was being irrationally questioned, adding that attacks from politicians "amounted to oppression". "They're specifically targeting science that protects our health, our safety and the environment. Science that protects the most vulnerable among us," he said. "Some people will suffer, some could even die," Dr Foley added. From climate change and pollution to medicine, men and women who support science were motivated on Saturday by the coverage of the recent Women's March and are mobilising to make their concerns heard. _________________ Catalyzed eh! Anyone any ideas whyso? It’s not as if the mad lying fuk went on the record declaring it a hoax, Chinese plot, etc Oh wait I forgot he removed everything Environmental from the White House ffs Donald what’s wrong with you Just after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president, a range of information on the White House website related to climate change was moved to an Obama online archive. The only references to rising temperatures on the new Trump White House site are a commitment to eliminate "harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan". This was President Obama's broad-based strategy to cut carbon emissions. Trump says science is essential to his tenure as president. He says that today. The witch burnings are scheduled to begin tomorrow.
