Hiltzik: Scientists strive to be apolitical, but they can't keep politics out of their labs
Since Galileo's time, politicians and ideologues have always tried to interfere with science. It's worse than ever today.

I checked the claim of the DOE report that sea level is rising at a lower rate than predicted by IPCC: it is false.
For 2030, the IPCC AR6 predicts a best estimate 9-10 cm relative to 1995-2014 (Table 9.9).
The satellite data show a rise of 74 mm until 2025. At this rate that will be 93 mm by 2030.

It's an overcast 9am, and the solar panels are already generating 4x more electricity than we're using. Yesterday afternoon, it was more like 15x.
The only potential downside of going solar is the risk of becoming a bit geeky about it (like me), satisfyingly watching the free power just roll in.

Imagine if BBC spent as much time on the dangers of climate collapse as they do on immigration. Imagine the public response when they realise what the real danger is to our children & who is causing it. Instead of anger at refugees there’d be anger at oil companies, media bosses, politicians & BBC.
