The units they are using are simply a range 0-1, so the 0.1 decline essentially corresponds to a 10% drop. Not catastrophic, but significant. Here's the full paper:

Very alarming news indeed!!! 😨

Feed the Scientist was founded in 1979. Their slogan: No scientist should go to bed worried. $20 will buy them a fannypack, sliderule pendant, and a library copy of the What if Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking Had a Child story. Won't you give? A terrible mind shouldn't go unused.

They used to offer discounts on LL Bean and Lands End winter clothing because the earth was cooling.

Then they offered sunglasses and SPF 100 lotion because of global warming.

Now they just offer a Magic 8-Ball so they can predict the next weather trend.

You wouldn't have the science you have today if it wasn't fostered by the very people you claim are running from it. Because in the dark periods of human history, it was the Catholic Church who preserved libraries, forwarded science, and established schools. In fact, religious institutions were notable in the support and preservation of higher education well into the 1800s.

Copernicus was a Augustinian priest.

Mendel was a friar.

Then again, it was progressives that came up with Eugenics, and that was considered established science of the time. That's that type of nonsense Conservatives run from.

We are lucky that you are so enlightened, Victor. Who knows, maybe Eugenics will make a comeback, and you can embrace that "science" with all abandon...

We are all pretty much aware of your high opinion of yourself, Victor. But you and your kind really ain't all that...

it is also good to note that Einstein believed in God, and Newton was a fanatical believer in the Old Testament.

That would make them right-wing extremists in Victor's eyes...

Addicting Info? Are you serious? You actually posted an "article" from that site with a straight face? That site makes Fox News look completely unbiased.
