Epilogue: After that film was finished, the team went on to drill the deepest ice core ever drilled in the Americas
The people who care about the climate are probably the same who find something else to read because of this.
I think the official ‘wokeness’ was a US campaign to ensure western rage for a war against a conservative/orthodox Russia, but it didn’t work as intended, so now all ‘woke’ projects have been cut off again. I suspect lgbt+, and climate causes/news/events are getting axed while the US Plutocracy prepare for war against China while shielding themselves from a crumbling Dollar. A bit sad that good causes are used like that. Btw, it would have happened with or without Trump.
I was going to point out that Fox owns 73% of National Geographic. Turns out thar Disney bought that 73% stake several years ago.
Probably because they are caving to demands from Trump. Fucking cowards.
OK, but also what does being queer have to do with climate science?
Absolutely nothing. But it seems like for the alt right, being queer is enough to disqualify your credentials and even your personhood.
maybe not that extreme, but that’s a pretty fair claim I think
Both are against the Republican cult’s beliefs. Science in general, but especially climate science.
I guess that’s true
Representation matters in all areas of life.
not sure the climate cares. It’s already killed countless species.
Yes but queers can’t be seen, and climate scientists were never this admin’s favorite.
A queer person did some excellent climate science, that’s how the two subjects relate. If you ignore either aspect of the story, well, it isn’t the full story.
Did you know that queer people have a right to exist and that questioning the relevance of their queerness to their work is essentially denying their humanity?
I mean, you’ll never really get the full story of anything if it requiers every adjacent detail, there’s just too much detail in any event to document it all. So, I think it’s more that being queer is an important part of this story because queer people have been marginalised. Which means it’s important that they have good representation and their achievements are celebrated.
never knew that.
does the same go for all subgroups world wide?
Nothing anymore, if you want to stay out of the camps.
Isn’t National Geographic owned by Murdoch? I think that’s your answer (and all why Nat Geo magazine has been almost unreadable for 20 years).
Nope. Disney.
Because Disney doesn’t want to prejudice M&A.
Explanation?
So the line is from a surrealist section of an americana surrealist horror series about the fight between anarchism, liberalism, and fascism. I’ve always interpreted that particular answer to the question “why did the chicken cross the road” to mean people had to take action because progress turned to backlash. Why did this work disappear? Because progress turned to backlash
The fact that those are the only three ideologies tells me it was probably written by an anarchist lol
