Here is an alternative URL for that video

which is unlike the one you gave, in that it does not require one to sign up to
Facebook, notorious for breaches of user privacy, to view it.

Dear oh dear, you have a video that flirts between engineering achievements and terrestrial sciences under the umbrella of 'science' as though a capacity for the former equates to competence in the latter.

Considering that neither anyone here nor the celebrities can express the basic facts surrounding a round and rotating Earth, the street lingo of denial is about as classy as I would expect these nuisances to be.

Does fiction inform fact ?, in that case the pitiable whining about 'science denial' is merely the tolerance and limits academics who got badly burned by going beyond the leash wider society afforded them. Want a real fictional overview ?, didn't think so but here it is anyway -

subversive link?

Believing in true, proven science doesn't mean believing in every knee-jerk crackpot theory poorly-support by and evidence. Also, don't invest too much intellectual capital in a group who have a notoriously poor track-record for past predictions based on shaky science.

All Americans should be embarrassed that we've degenerated to the
point where it's necessary for somebody to make a video like this, to
say these things.

That fact that you have him on the video now versus say a Carl Sagan 30 years ago says a LOT about degeneration. And that ass of a fake scientist, Bill Nye.

Carl Sagan is no longer with us, while Neil deGrasse Tyson still lives. It is true
that Carl Sagan was a working scientist, while Neil deGrasse Tyson is a
planetarium director, but that may say more about research funding than the extent
of his scientific training.
