Science Museum Declines To Show Climate Change Film

sciencehabit writes "A premier science museum in North Carolina has sparked controversy by refusing to show an hour long film about climate change and rising sea levels. The museum may be in a bit of a delicate position. It is part of a state agency, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The state government has been perceived as hostile to action on climate change; last year, the legislature passed a bill forbidding the state coastal commission from defining rates of sea-level rise for regulation before 2016."

Oh, because the politicians are "the state"? We shouldn't question our elites? Nice servitude attitude you got going on there.

The simple formula applies everywhere: the higher the taxes, the less freedom. Each dollar taxed away from you, robs you of the freedom to spend it they way you'd want — handing that deciding power over to the politicians.

The museum is government-funded — you pay for it, but the government decides, what it does, and your only recourse is to elect a different government next time.
