1/ Here's a really alarming tweet about how climate change is much worse that we thought. I must read this.

2/ I read: "In a paper published in Science on Thursday, researchers from the University of Oregon took a look at how the LeConte Glacier in Alaska was melting underwater [took] measurements. "
PMR sounds worth reading. I click the link science.sciencemag.org/content/365/64… ...

3/ It's published in "Science Magazine" so it's got a high I****ct F*ctor and it must be true [1]. I'll read it and make my mind up....
SEE BELOW.

[1] or maybe not, but that's a different story.

4/ So to read a 5 page article about how climate change is going to affect all of us, you will have to pay 40 USD to read it.
And you will have to destroy the article after ONE day.
Obviously the publisher AAAS is an uncaring avaricious capitalist publisher ...

5/ ... no, "The AAAS seeks to "advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people."
It's a non-profit organization.
and it charges citizens extortionate amounts to read publicly funded science about the future of the planet...

6/ "the AAAS Board has set the following broad goals:

Enhance communication among scientists, engineers, and the public;
"

??? by charging 40 USD to read a 5-page paper that's of critical interest
to everyone???
Oh ...

7 ... and who's funded the reserach? and who has done it?
I can't tell who funded it, because it's behind a paywall,
The researchers are from...
Univ Oregon, Oregon State Univ, Univ Alaska Southeast, Univ Texas Univ N Carolina, UnivAlaska Fairbanks

8/8 six universities. None of them care that the world cannot read their research about massive climate change.
Make your own mind up - I have.
And then demand that this unjust system is destroyed.
