I’ve listened to this guy, Steven Bauma’s, geology videos over the years and he seems pretty legit, though I’ve never looked into him more deeply.

As for sharing this video, it’s because I feel his pain, even if I’m no scientists, I am a true blue science enthusiast and a rationalist, and have been dealing the science denial ever since witnessing the lessons of tobacco smoke science denial, being applied and highbred in the massive decades long industry war on rational climate science.

We’re heading into a dark age and there’s no telling when we’ll get out of it. If we don’t get to vote again, as the Orange Menace said, while campaigning if the uneducated he says he loves so much elected him, it will be a very long time before we get out of the dark ages in the U.S.
