@RyanHeffronPhoto Yeah, it seems like scientists could literally be setting themselves on fire trying to get peoples' attention and policymakers would not act. This isn't a scicomm issue, this is a political problem - politicians don't want to solve problems that will cause short-term pain for long-term (generational) gain. There's no motivation to solve problems that won't resolve before the next election cycle.
@dawee88 Any time it's a 9-0 decision, it's not really about siding with conservatives or liberals.
I'm actually shocked the TX legislature is doing anything remotely useful instead of fighting culture war battles. Good for them.
