I get the whole strengthening the immune system thing by not being a bubble person but to say the air is too clean is just ridonkulous. Spend some time in the Rockies.

Precisely. You would literally have to sterilize the air to make it too clean, something that is far from possible anyway.

the science deniers are at it again
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/nov/05/donald-trump-accused-blocking-satellite-climate-change-research
The row has erupted after a key polar satellite broke down a few days ago, leaving the US with only three ageing ones, each operating long past their shelf lives, to measure the Arctic’s dwindling ice cap. Scientists say there is no chance a new one can now be launched until 2023 or later. None of the current satellites will still be in operation then.
The crisis has been worsened because the US Congress this year insisted that a backup sea-ice probe had to be dismantled because it did not want to provide funds to keep it in storage. Congress is currently under the control of Republicans, who are antagonistic to climate science and the study of global warming.

Committed climate science denier inexplicably given a mic by the NYT Bret Stephens proudly claiming some #NeverTrump street cred for himself.
Sure, that's nice, but let's throw an asterisk on "principles" so we know to check the footnote for what that fidelity he's talking about actually entails.

Wow. The only thing good about this is that it could be the tip of the iceberg on Trump "supporters" that will increasingly try to distance themselves once it becomes politically expedient to do so.
Like parasites trying to find a new host.

Interesting and alarming article. Maybe the Donald shouldn't have backed out of that Paris agreement

ORE then 15,000 scientists from around the world have signed a terrifying letter warning of an imminent apocalypse.
The message is called "Warning to Humanity" and is an ominous vision of the grim fate awaiting our planet.
The message updates an original Warning from the Union of Concerned Scientists, which was made in 1992.
Now the global scientific community's view of the future is even bleaker.
Apart from the hole in the ozone layer, which has now been stabilised, every one of the major threats identified in 1992 has worsened.
Runaway consumption of precious resources by an exploding population remains the biggest danger facing humankind, say the scientists.

Is it just a little ironic that Trump lifted the ban on importing the remains of the animal that symbolizes his party?
