The Wailing Scientists of Washington: Fear-Mongering in Lab Coats
18 hours ago Charles Rotter
In the hallowed halls of Washington, where the wine flows freely and the government grants run wild, a curious gathering of cloistered bureaucrats posing as scientists recently assembled. They weren’t there to debate scientific breakthroughs or marvel at the wonders of the cosmos. No, they were there to wring their hands and tremble in fear because—horror of horrors—Donald Trump might become president again.
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) hosted its annual confab, and this year’s theme wasn’t climate change, rising seas, or polar bears. It was a full-blown therapy session for government-funded climate warriors, panicked at the thought of losing their cushy sinecures. You’d think they’d discovered an asteroid hurtling toward Earth, but no such luck. Their real fear? Budget cuts. Or worse: accountability.
Apocalypse Now, Fund Me Later
According to reports, the atmosphere at this science shindig was as cheery as a funeral for a goldfish. Words like censorship, funding cuts, and layoffs were tossed around as if Trump had already begun personally slashing their travel stipends. These professional alarmists didn’t even wait for the president-elect to take office before diving into a collective meltdown.
