Sources welcome, and also can we please start criticising all those other people just trying to get shit done when in the middle of an emergency. I think those firefighters are doing shit jobs too, because you KNOW they could've put that burning building out better than they did!

It's more like. The building is on fire. The fire department denies it is on fire and calls anyone who claims it is on fire a liar. Then they admit it is on fire and pretend like they always said it was on fire. Then they point the water in completely the wrong direction, and call anyone pointing this out a liar. They use the fact that those same people were already known as liars as evidence, without mentioning that the 'liars' were in fact correct. Continue ad infinitum.

> also can we please start criticising all those other people just trying to get shit done when in the middle of an emergency. I think those firefighters are doing shit jobs too, because you KNOW they could've put that burning building out better than they did! Do you mean stop criticizing? Also, what an absurd proposition. Should we not criticize George W. Bush & the US Government for invading the wrong country in the aftermath of 9/11? After all, it was an emergency! At what point does the response change from "it was an emergency!" to... jesus christ you people are incompetent. And you're attempting to censor all the competent people.... Insert some meaningless comparison to firefighters/other heroic profession

Fire departments funding isnt contingent of producing outcomes which agree with political or economic agendas. Lets not pretend like "scientists" by virtue of their job title are moral paragons or even experts in their fields. Everyone on this website (or like 75%) is a "scientist" to some degree. If you are an educated adult with any sort of scientific background you are fully capable of adjudicating a research paper into the following catagories : utter garbage, a reasonable but unscientific paper, a solid paper, or a questionable but too outside my expertise to grok. Im no chef but I can tell instant ramen from filet mignon. The general public is not necessarily capable of this sort of discernment. Which is fine, but we ought not to let people get away with steamrolling people who are more educated and more reasonable by appealing to "science" "Science" as it is used in popular parlance is a farce.
