This tweet from scientist Jacquelyn Gill (@JacqelynGill) went viral, and for good reason. The war on science continues, and she summed up this story perfectly into 3 sentences on Twitter.
The row has erupted after a key polar satellite broke down a few days ago, leaving the US with only three ageing ones, each operating long past their shelf lives, to measure the Arctic’s dwindling ice cap. Scientists say there is no chance a new one can now be launched until 2023 or later. None of the current satellites will still be in operation then.
No words can describe how much this angers the crap out of me.
@elizabethrobertajones I lied I made a form since that’s the easy part and compiling data would be the hard part so better to put this out there while the subject is once again raised, right? Or at least try anyway, though since you already have polls idk how many people would bother to do it again 😛
It’s not just one click but the questions are easy enough so it shouldn’t take people more than like 30 seconds unless they’re agonizing over their choices. (Which, fair, if you’re like me sorting your faves is a BIG DEAL.)
Hey everyone go do this for SCIENCE. BAD BAD SCIENCE.
