A particular sub-culture of humans don't like the proliferation of cameras on cyclists. Cameras are showcasing the mentality of "you're slowing me down/doing something I don't like therefore it is grounds for justifiable homicide."

Climate science deniers jump through many hoops, use deplorable methods to publish papers in disreputable journals to aid their world view. Their publications do not stand the test of replication which means they have failed scientific standards. To persist in faith that they are on the right path simply beggars belief.

Sweet words.

Sweet words.
"Abbott came to office on a platform of pure negation, promising to stop, axe and cut things. With those destructive ends either achieved or stalled in the Senate, there is nothing more for him to say. He is opposed to anything that looks like political progress, but often enough he can’t or won’t say why. The contempt for the public he so clearly reveals in his crude machinations are reflected in the public’s opinion of him. And he is having trouble constructing an appeal for more time because he has no goals to point towards."

While it is easy to dismiss the underlying issues of those entrenched in the paid propaganda mindset behind climate change science denial, there are some seeing the light. This story is about an evangelical understanding his position and working his way through the dross.
