Dismantling and destroying: the open, rational, scientific base of our existence (democracy).
Without funding there will be no science, without science there will be no democracy, without democracy there will be no humanity. It has taken decades, if not centuries (that is hundred of years) to collect this data. To what end? It is essential to our very survival.
We do not have the time to wait. We need to understand what is going on and we need to act now!
Please stop this madness! We must care for the sake of our next generations. We must be aware and take responsibility. End of discussion.
