Very successful March for Science

Yesterday, thousands (maybe millions) of people marched around the world in support of our planet and science. One sign below captures it all:

It is very odd that there is debate over the steps that need to be taken to help our environmental and ecological systems. However, it should not be surprising it has come to this when the current Administration hires people like Scott Pruitt whose positions are the antithesis of the agencies (E.P.A.) they lead and our President does not have the policy expertise and frankly common sense (he said congratulations to a Purple Heart recipient who lost his leg after sustaining injuries in Afghanistan). This March should bring people of all political persuasions together and hopefully build consensus on how to move forward. Let's hope most people of influence see it that way as well.
