Climate Science 100 hour livestream protest against NASA GISS Goddard Climate Center being evicted/funding cut

This livestream is going strong - and the scientists are pleading for people to call their representatives to get the funding restored.

I wish I wasn't politically burnt out - I got arrested eight times doing civil disobedience and over 30 years ago I argued with my University student friends that instead of going into science they needed to go into policy activism. 

Policy activism relies on begging for funding and it's easy to get burnt out from begging for funding. I achieved some policy changes but I also got my email account deleted - all my saved messages - and a professor/director emailed me saying I would never be published again in the University newspaper. We activists got FBI files, etc. and a private company investigated me as one of twelve top "eco-terrorists" since I was a "habitual" and "multi-sector" activist. I worked at half a dozen nonprofit policy activist places and I organized campaigns and coalitions.

Now it's time for the scientists to become activists without having any choice in the matter.

 From May 28th to June 1st, join meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US for a 💯-hour livestream! We will share our science and show why America's forecasts are worth saving. [Photo: NOAA]

 Currently I click on many petitions a day - probably a dozen on average! But I also realize that the political parties are controlled by corporate PAC "donations." So politicians spend half their time brown-no$ing to corporate PACs for fundraising. In the "GOP" - this has turned into a dictator of Drumpf based on the cover-up of his Epstein collaboration in child rape. So that's how tragic our modern human condition is - truly a spiritual and existential crisis that is increasingly noticeable through the devastation of abrupt global warming and other pollution along with extreme social injustice.

 Yes Basil J. Hiley said in 2012, "No one understands me" in his response to Jack Sarfatti's comment. I noticed this was definitely true when I listened to other scientists responses to Hiley. My understanding of Hiley was solely due to my music-meditation philosophy and training that led me to noncommutativity. Hiley in his final talks was emphasizing "nonlocal time" being noncommutative. That's what I had first emailed him about - I simply said, "You know that time-frequency is noncommutative." hahaha. Something like that - around 2019.
What I like about the work of Bohm-Hiley is that they realized our ecological crisis today is due to the wrong physics and wrong philosophy of science. Bohm-Hiley also realized this meant a dismissal of the paranormal. Hiley then realized this was due to not understanding noncommutativity. I came to precisely the same conclusion but only through my experiential training in music-meditation! hahahahaha.
All the best,

Hi Professor Alan Robock: I'm listening to your talk "AOS 405 seminar - March 21, 2022 - Alan Robock" on youtube for UW-Madison where I finished my undergraduate degree in the early 90s. I went there precisely to experience a radical activism populism training based on the Madison WI 60s legacy. I did my first post-secondary year at Hampshire College when I took quantum physics professor Herbert J. Bernstein's class - he worked at M.I.T. also. 
I did policy activism through my master's degree at U of Minnesota-Twin Cities in 2000 and I got arrested eight times doing civil disobedience. 
I also studied philosophy of science with my focus eventually being on noncommutativity. I corresponded with quantum physics professor Basil J. Hiley, the collaborator of David Bohm, several times - he also focused on noncommutativity.
Doing policy activism work mainly relied on me begging for donations or shuffling papers or washing dishes or doing data entry. I also volunteered to organize coalitions and campaigns, etc. I worked for half a dozen nonprofits.
I see you supervised many science students!
Glad you were also able to protest at UW-Madison - my activist mentor at Madison did a FOIA request. He said the FBI had 900 pages on a couple dozen of us activists over maybe six years. hahaha. Most of it was all redacted and the FBI then requested the FOIA get retracted since it was too much work to redact all the pages. 
Anyway, that was 30 years ago already. 
I got arrested through Nukewatch out of Luke WI. Maybe you are familiar with them? https://nukewatchinfo.org/ Project ELF finally got shut down but then I got a warrant for my arrest since I had not paid a fine for ten years. So I paid the fine. 
thanks,
drew hempel
