Large, Oceanic Mushroom Clouds

Wha? Didn’t you just link to a bunch of articles that blamed this stuff on pollution, modern farming, and pumping fresh water into the ocean to combat oversalination (which scientists said was the problem)? C’mon, science. GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT.

I must be tired.

My first read of your post … I took it as “pay no attention to the man behind the coffin.”

I’m scared. Seriously. I find this sort of thing terrifying. I want my kids to be able to swim in the ocean, not just look at it out of fear of flesh-eating ooze.

“Andrew, what you have to keep in mind that there are many people called scientists. Some of them are good scientists. Some of them are bad scientists.

And then, some of them provide scientific advice to the president.” – NCallahan

Thank you. It’s very difficult to tell when people are using the term science with an understanding that the scientific community is just like any other community. You’ve got your morons, your ass hats, your shills, that guy who just can’t be bothered to pay attention to what everyone else has done before coming up with his own ill informed theory. And that’s just the people who are obviously not helping things. All the “good” scientists are trained to be critical, that is, to argue about other possible explanations before agreeing on one idea, possibly over the course of years and tens of thousands of dollars in grant money put into experiments to make damn well sure that what they think is going is actually happening.
