Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all.

“The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”

@davidho Why would they care? Heading to Mars.

They'll get there before it all burns down.

You think they'll leave a contingent of suckers or just blow us all up with the nukes? Can't just leave us here with them...

Idiots should be listening to Tyson a bit more. Should be buying up/taking over elevated land and building impenetrable fortresses and also taking massive steps to curb it all. But nope...off to redder planes of dust.

@crazyeddie @davidho you think so? You did obviously not hear about those researchers on the South Pole sending out an alarm because they are afraid one of them will harm or even kill them. It's quite hard to live in confined spaces for longer periods of time... Perhaps even more so if you're South African... It's really long way to Mars, and no chances to return if your shipmates turn against you.
