Comment Bullshit (Score 1, Insightful) 88

So, specifically, from which scientific fields will we lose all of this talent, and to which countries will these people be moving? Further, in what ways will the NSF counterparts in these supposed other countries benefit R&D by foreign researchers?

*Takes quick perusal of the article* Ah, it's DEI bullshit that's being cut here. And, the likelihood of any of this research being funded by another country (other than Canada) is highly dubious. Therefore, the entire premise of this article is laughable. No scientific talent will be "lost to overseas competitors".

...basically, the earth should be warmer.

The bulk of its history it's been a great deal warmer, with higher levels of CO2.

The fact is that that the deep carbon cycle is not at equilibrium, with more carbon coming out of the mantle (through volcanic activity) than carbon going back to the mantle (through subduction).
This is good, because at 150ppm CO2, vegetation fails and everything dies.

Yes, I'm deeply, deeply sorry - that "nearly" COMPLETELY CHANGES my point.

Although your "no where near" would also be a lie, wouldn't it?

This is Canada imposing a tax on services from firms outside the country.

There is no logical basis for the tax aside from Canada (like most national govt anywhere) trying to take a cut off any money moving anywhere.

Personally, I'm fine with it, they're a sovereign state. If they agreed to remove it and have reneged, well, they will have to deal with the consequences.

... And the fact that they're getting more and more upset when you interpose barriers between them and (unsupervised) access to children simply proves the point.

This was a dumb, dumb hill for Democrats to pick to die on. Most reasonable liberals I know in private agree, so we argue about other actual political points of merit. Supporting objectively crazy people in their pedophilia is never going to be a winner (except, apparently, with liberal white women but that's ok, their primary political interest seems to be about murdering their own spawn when desired, shrug).
