When did it become okay to be more offended by what someone with no power says than by what someone with power does?

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

The perennial cry to “Save Earth" is odd. Planet Earth survives massive asteroid strikes -- it'll survive anything we throw at it. But Life on Earth will not.

PRECIOUS AIR: In relative thickness, Earth’s atmosphere is to Earth as the skin of an apple is to an apple.

@TA_Andrew_P273 @sciam We have to acknowledge that there is a possibility that we are in fact virtual, but it would be hard to test. And while this theory is great "outside of the box" thinking, unless we find evidence to support this view, I don't believe in it.

@TA_Andrew_P273 I'm not sure about the validity of this source. It appears to be a discussion forum, not a scientific journal.

Did you know that refrigerators and freezers operate more efficiently when full, so keep your refrigerator and freezer as full as possible. #EnergyConservation #Sustainability

@N3Nicolas @NatGeo As you said, polar bears are now breeding with grizzlies. This demonstrates that there's not enough individuals to allow either species to mate with members of their own populations. Long-term this leads to loss of biodiversity.

[ccarl @ccarl012]

According to @NatGeo the global population of polar bears is projected to decrease (due to decline in sea ice) by two thirds, to less than 10,000 polar bears by 2050. #ClimateChange

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@N3Nicolas @NatGeo No it's not hard at all. While we cannot count each bear, statistical analysis shows that populations continue to decline. Polar bears are now facing extinction. And that's a fact. This is the concensus among scientists.

[ccarl @ccarl012]

@N3Nicolas Yes, it can indeed. Which is why those that care for new borns shouldn't use cosmetics or perfumes.

[ccarl @ccarl012]

Did you know that perfumes can be as bad as second hand smoke for babies? #IndoorAirQuality #IndoorAirPollution

@TA_Andrew_P273 @han_boyi you'd be surprised by the extent of the suppression and censorship going on. And how often TV stations experience "technical problems" that forces them to cut the feed as soon as something deemed inappropriate is shown.
