Re: Sleep is a Good Thing(TM)

Anyone who thinks basic chemistry and physics prepares them for climate science is a fucking ignorant, self-important idiot.

No, not really true. Obviously it doesn't prepare you to understand the detailed models used by experts, but what a good grounding in basic science SHOULD teach is the ability to think clearly and logically, to look at and analyse facts, and to draw logical conclusions.

(Not that different to the requirements for a successful career in IT.)

That really should be a major help in understanding and appreciating the arguments about why human activity is endangering the future of humanity through extreme and rapid changes to the climate.

It should also help them to sit down and look coolly and clearly at the arguments over whether or not leaving the EU would be a good thing for the UK. The recent polls suggest a lot of people did not do well in 'basic science'.
