Why I dropped Science (the magazine) because of the extreme censorship imposed

 Some have asked me why I am not  renewing Science since their extreme censorship of the  discussion groups is unrelated. This is the same organization so I now have some questions about how they approach filtering the science they publish in Science, my real reason for not paying even my discounted retired, elderly rate, the money goes to the people who developed AND enforce the censorship and I decline to support meaningless censorship in any way.

Restarting this blog especially for new AAAS members but not limited to them.

Climate Change, Too Late To Beg Politicians - Time To Follow The Pentagon And Begin Preparation For The Inevitable.

 As for climate change, I worked on it for decades even in an official capacity as an emergency management coordinator. It is too late to change what will happen by 2050. Politicians simply can't move fast enough, even countries which agreed with the Paris agreement have totally failed to  to meet the goals they agreed to. It is time to stop wasting time, money, and effort on fighting short term climate change and focus our energy on preparing for inevitable financial and social changes we or our descendants will face. Working to make long-term changes would be  useful but that will occur naturally as Red states are washed away (GRIN). I wrote a book about this and am working on the second volume now. "Preparing for Climate Change  Coastal flooding will cost the U.S. billions of dollars within two decades." . second edition ebook  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TYTG6ZC [ excerpt below ] As far back as 2014 the U.S. military saw climate change as the  ...
