and our fun leftist friends keep telling us science isn't political and we should just take what science tells us...
then the leftist take science and say what it doesn't say.... race isn't biological. what insanity.
Race is wonderful, beautiful and amazing. Race gives us greater opportunity for biodiversity and genetic vigor. Race is to be celebrated....but it is absolutely a product if biological function.
If you are of the left and you don't recognize the nonsense your side has come up with. Shame on you.
For many decades National Geographic, with its first rate photographers and journalists, educated Americans, and awed them, revealing just how big was the world and how diverse the humanity it contained. Now its new editor wants to apologize for that:
The whole current issue is devoted to various race related PC-isms and grievances, including this feature which claims "There's no scientific basis for race - it's a made up label" and then, amusingly, goes on to provide a scientific explanation of how the current races developed through geographic isolation, substituting the word "populations" for "races".
Probably trying to recoup circulation after Murdoch bought it and a lot of people cancelled their subscriptions because of his politics. I sure did, and I have a couple of friends I know did as well.
I'ts not that easy, Rupert. We know you for what you are, despite your protestations to the contrary.

There is a scientific basis, since any competent forensic pathologist can examine a set of skeletal remains and within a matter of seconds, instantly determine whether it was male or female, and whether it is Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid or Aboriginoid.

If the first complete human genome is a composite of several individuals, then all data stemming from it is inherently flawed, resulting in a circular argument.
The climate change deserves to be questioned in light of the fact that it conflicts with known facts.
We're inundated with fears of the runaway Greenhouse Effect, yet for the first 1.5 Billion years of Earth's existence, the atmosphere contained zero Oxygen and was almost entirely Carbon Dioxide and Methane, yet this so-called Greenhouse Effect never manifested itself.
Even more embarrassing is the fact that the Pangola Glaciation took place, resulting in the very first snow-ball Earth during that period.
For the next 1 Billion years, while Oxygen exists in trace amounts in the atmosphere, the massive quantity of Carbon Dioxide and Methane which dwarfed the amount during the Jurassic Period still didn't lead to the runaway Greenhouse Effect.
What happened instead was the Huronian Glaciation.
Then we have the fact that during the last Inter-Glacial Period, the average global temperature was 10.4°F warmer than the present average global temperature. And, in fact, 7 of the 8 previous Inter-Glacial Periods had average global temperatures warmer than the present average global temperature.
So in what way are the current average global temperatures during his Inter-Glacial Period abnormal?
They are not.
But, some people would have us believe it is abnormal, because they have a driven agenda to redistribute wealth to emerging- and developing-States, and to end fossil fuel use.

Did you actually read through the articles, research scientists have a different definition regarding what we accept as race. It's not leftist, its science.
