What'sUpWithThatWatts, et al.

This is both my personal learning project and my contribution in the struggle to confront the ongoing Republican/ libertarian assault on rational science and constructive learning, as manifested in their malicious strategic Attacks on Science ~ A collection of articles, scientific resources, plus my own essays and indepth critique of various presentations from unidirectional-skeptics ~ Hopefully a resource for the busy, yet discerning, student who's concerned about the health of our Earth

BOYCOTT TRUMP APP

I received the following and thought it worth passing along. If what's happening concerns you, you must get involved. Here's one easy way of making your feelings known. {Something else important, please consider that although writing letters and phone calls to US Representatives and Senators seems so quaint, it really is a force that puts the backbone into politicians whom you support and hands a reality check to those whom you object to. Now more than ever, folks that want to save hard won protections and services must get involved like never before. Otherwise you will loss what you've always assumed would always be there. Just look at who's being put into positions of true and awesome power - this is not a drill, this is the real thing and you are in their sights. This election should make clear no one has your back, time for you to get involved.}

Learn some lessons from the Alt-Right. But, keep it honest, don't give into serial fabrication of lies in order to hide from inconvenient but very real truths, the way Bannon and his crowd do. We must demand honesty and integrity and truth. Dialogue with constructive learning and positive change is the goal. But, I digress, this is about the simple act of BOYCOTTING TRUMP and withholding your money from the businesses of the man poised to vandalize our government and country like nothing we've never experienced.

You can download the app for free HERE or by searching "Boycott Trump" in the App Store.

It's your move disillusioned Democrats, each and everyone of us.

Engage or give up and get clobbered.

Democracy live it or lose it,

true now more than ever.

We just took our next major step in the fight against Trump by hitting him and his allies where it hurts most - their wallets.

... we have released the first ever Boycott Trump app as part of our continuing effort to take a stand against Trump. The free app provides users with a searchable database of over 250 companies and includes many big name brands that you probably didn't realize we're connected to Trump.

Our app was even featured on NBC News! http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/want-boycott-trump-there-s-app-n686716.

Rep. Ruben Gallego' Nov. 17, speech to the US House.

Republicans are calling it a rant. But, Trump's own public statements and the public record certifies it the truth. Which brings us to the heart of America's current crisis. The Alt-Right has utter and complete contempt for the truth, honesty, dignity or respect. The scruple-less extreme Alt-Right, that Republicans are now trying to normalize, is as dangerous as anything that happened in the 1930s. Mind you we now exist on a much depleted and far more crowded planet, something Republicans and their Alt-Right muscle can't bring themselves to face.

These people think any inconvenience truth can be erased with a lie and bullying. You people who believe in America and our government as our Forefather envisioned, it's game time. If you don't activate your lazy collective asses and join in the struggle, these vandals will steamroll us, that is certainly their intention and they are counting on our continued dossal acquiescence.

I know there are too many typos, what can I say, eyes aren't what they were, I get rushed, and always did have a thing with transposing…{well, I also hated high school "english" classes... bad call that one.}. Doing the best I can with what I got. Embarrassing though it is, it's better than doing nothing. Besides, it's the issues and reasoning that we should be worrying about.

Though I'm in my own little world here, I'm also constantly learning and evolving and do get occasional feedback and when I reread stuff and find errors or omissions or garbage, I fix it. If it's major I'll acknowledge it with an 'edited' note, minor stuff I don't bother.

I hardly keep track of Anthony's latest antics (besides, with Sou on the job why bother - can't beat her insights). It's just me over here and I have more important things to do with my precious hours - still now that Anthony's luster has been wearing thin he's put his energy into discovering and honing new fresh faces to carry on the public show of the Republican/Libertarian strategic attack on science.

He seems to have transitioned into a ring-leader, perhaps mentor/coach would be better, producer? At least that's how Mr. Steele and his antics of the past year has gotten me to think about it. So in that regard this blog remains about WUWT's brand of thinking and logic and my struggle to understand the anatomy of the fraud they've perpetrated against mankind. {December 2014}

ok, now some recommended websites:

This blog was started in April 2013 and is written by an actual scientist so it has a refreshingly serious objective air to it, plus he does a good clear job of explaining complex issues.

And Then There's Physics.

Sou has some of the best {readability and detailed} examinations of Watt's antics I've seen - and she does have fun with certain characters.

She continues be the best at keeping up with Mr. Watts' and pals and their many deceptions.

The recent dirty tricks and attacks she is enduring are acknowledgment of how good she is at it.

Ben has been documenting Anthony's misdeeds longer than the rest of us.

Tamino, an acknowledged statistical/mathematical expert of the highest order, at Open Mind also does an excellent job of holding Anthony’s feet to the fire with clearly explained facts and math. Check it out:

And of course, there is the excellent, most up to date internet depository of climate studies and information for the non-expert public.

http://SkepticalScience.com

Then there's RealClimate.org the scientist's commentary site. Run by working climate scientists intended to help the interested public and journalists sort through the complexities of the climatology. They provide "quick response to developing stories and provide the context" that is too often missing from public media's depiction. {But, you better be serious and have some real science education/understanding under your belt if you want to keep up.}

I remember back in da day, good websites/blogs were few and far between. But over the past years that's been changing to the point that it's impossible to keep up with them all. Here's an incomplete, and long overdue addition to my above list:
