1 year ago@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.
I’m actually shocked the TX legislature is doing anything remotely useful instead of fighting culture war battles. Good for them.
