So if you ban scientist from doing the, according to them, most accurate way of predictions by introducing a ban on exponential models this helps society in what way?! Since when are law makers capable to determine what the best models for scientist should be?

Research from the US Geological Survey (USGS) shows that sea levels are rising much faster between North Carolina and Massachusetts than anywhere else in the world. The news comes less than two weeks after North Carolina's Senate passed a bill banning state agencies from reporting predictions of increasing rates of sea-level rise.

  1. It's a bit of a head scratcher isn't it. Just read that Aust is on track for a one-metre rise by 2100. Also that the chief oceanographer of the US Navy is planning for the same. The North Carolina senate might find itself out of step with reality – or else they'll equip everyone with snorkels and flippers and pretend nothing is happening!

  2. When did the North Carolina state Senate actually operate in step with reality? There must have been a specific year that they had their psychotic break.

    When your Government has a break with reality, it's time to:

    A) Protest and raise awareness

    B) Vote the psychotics out

    When governments they start muzzling their own agencies, it's time for a change. Vote for the enlightenment, and just say no to muzzling of science. Indiana tried to legislate the value of Pi, that didn't work very well for them.
