...the way I see it is that pure science is generally treated with condescension and posturing.
I see it every time I read the newspaper.
Were it not so would we really be experiencing climate change?
Would we chasing like mad women and mad men after things that don't work to address climate change and insisting that future generations will do what we can't do ourselves, this with a destroyed environmental infrastructure and depleted resources?
Would we still be carrying on about Fukushima while 19,000 people die every day from air pollution?
Is there some reason that I am not permitted to not be angered about this state of affairs?
I'm too old to believe that what I say will matter, but as I approach the end of my life facing sons and the members of their generation who will need to live with what we have done, to the extent that anything I have said or done survives, which is unlikely, I want it said that at least someone had the decency to be ashamed and angered.
I'm not interested in readership so much as I am interested in truth, in particular, moral truth.
Thanks for your advice though, even if I decline to take it.
