The Importance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The first thing politicians have to do is prioritize what is best for America. There is nothing in their oath of office that says otherwise.
The Scientific Method and Climate Change
If you believe that anthropogenic global warming, not climate change, is based on fixed science, then a review of the scientific method should be part of your reading. Even if the six steps of the scientific method are painfully followed, the result is only a scientific theory, not a fixed scientific fact. You only need to start with the world-is-flat theory to see a clear example.
Today, global warming has almost nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics.
Strangely enough, there is not a single mathematical model used since the beginning of such models that has accurately predicted the observed global warming estimated by the models. (See testimony of John Christy before Congress). There is not one model that can actually estimate (not guess) the impact of clouds on global warming. Science is never fixed. Nor should it be. When you fix science, you politicize results.
