On Monday’s “The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson,” Doc Thompson shared some of his experiences from Saturday’s March for Science.
Scientists and supporters marched over the weekend in Washington, D.C., and other cities around the country to protest the Trump administration and advocate for more scientific research. While organizers said the march was nonpartisan, part of their mission was pushing for “robustly funded and publicly communicated science,” essentially calling for bigger government.
Doc shared some choice quotes from protesters trying to explain what we should do to combat climate change. People seemed more concerned about a political agenda than actual science, so when Doc asked what they think America should do to combat climate change, they had plenty of half-baked ideas.
One marcher thought that we should “shut down the Pentagon because they’re the largest polluters in the world.” Other protesters said that taxing carbon emissions was the answer because big businesses should “take responsibility for the damages that they cause,” while one participant thought that world peace would solve our environmental problems. “We need science and the anti-war movement. Peace denial is bad science,” the marcher asserted.
“Get rid of the Pentagon and ‘peace.’ That’s gonna help the climate,” Doc sarcastically summed it up.
