Hey, I just talked to my pal Luigi. He thought the "real bigotry" was "onne uh dose, whatchacallem, redwoods."
And this is what passes off as the " intelligent " side of the debate.
When you other side has nothing but "Nuh-uh, science is religion, nyah!" one need not try hard to leap WAY over you dumb motherfuckers.

Teaching science is bigotry....
Getting fired for teaching science = bigotry.

I am amazed that after all this time, you always manage to top the last utterly idiotic thing you said with something even dumber.
Which only makes YOU on par w/ a Grand Dragon ,decked out in your pointy headed finest.

If NASA found out that one of its scientists in charge of orbital engineering was actually a flat-earther, should they be allowed to get rid of him?
If a catholic priest stood up in church and declared from the altar that he did not believe in god, should the curch be able to give him the heave-ho?
If a general said before the invasion of Iraq that we'd need far greater numbers of troops than we were prepared to send, should he be able to be fired for his opinion?

Ponder this reality: Charlie Manson just got married, and the raptard can't even get a date. Says a lot about how fucked up he is, doesn't it?

So, because AGW isn't real, you feel the need to insult those you'll never meet over the internet.
Where's that get fun ?
And what difference to you does it matter if I join your lame ass cult or not ?

So... no answers?
And science is a "cult" now?

Are you trying to say you've never insulted someone you'll never meet?
If you're insulted because I think you're a despicable waste of oxygen, then good for you. Be insulted, by all means. But it doesn't make what I said any less true.

Junk science with the intent of politicizing is a cult, yes.

You tried to insult those who don't join your cult. I'm not insulted, I think you sad & pathetic, but that's a you problem.
Nothing you say has an iota of truth to it. You're a troll.

Groups Accuse EPA of Muzzling Science Advisers

This week, journalist and scientific organizations accused the Environmental Protection Agency of attempting to muzzle its independent scientific advisers by directing them to funnel all outside requests for information through agency officials.
In a letter, groups representing journalists and scientists urged the EPA to allow advisory board members to talk directly to news reporters, Congress and other outside groups without first asking for permission from EPA officials. An April memo from the EPA's chief of staff said that "unsolicited contacts" need to be "appropriately managed" and that committee members should refrain from directly responding to requests about committees' efforts to advise the agency.
The scientific advisory board's office had asked the EPA to clarify the communications policy for board members, who are government employees.
"The new policy only reinforces any perception that the agency prioritizes message control over the ability of scientists who advise the agency to share their expertise with the public," the groups wrote.
The EPA relies on independent advisory boards to weigh complex scientific information and to advise the agency on policy, such as setting new standards for air pollutants. Recently, Republicans in Congress have been critical of the scientific advisory board overseeing the review of the ground-level ozone standard, saying it failed to evaluate the consequences of recommending a tougher limit.
The chair of that panel, H. Christopher Frey, said in an interview with the Associated Press in which he stressed he was offering his personal opinion, that he found the tone of the EPA memo to be unnecessary.
Frey, a distinguished university professor in North Carolina State Univ.'s environmental engineering department, said that many of the scientists that serve on the committees are national and internationally-renowned experts and that EPA "need not be too strong in precluding interactions with the media or others."
For journalists, it's the latest skirmish involving transparency issues and the Obama administration. Last month, more than three dozen groups wrote to the White House about what they described as growing censorship throughout federal agencies. Last year, dozens of leading news organizations protested restrictions that sometimes keep journalists from taking pictures and video of President Barack Obama performing official duties and two press groups urged members to stop using official photos and video handed out by the White House, dismissing them as little more than "government propaganda."
An EPA spokeswoman said there are no constraints on members fielding requests in a personal or professional capacity. She said the memo was designed to assure transparency.
The groups signing the letter include the Society of Professional Journalists, the Society of Environmental Journalists, Investigative Reporters and Editors, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Society for Conservation Biology, American Geophysical Union and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.
