Thank you for calling out the junk scientists, we all need to do that more often. But doesn't it all begin with the junk scientists employed by us (ie, the government)? Who in the gov't is deciding to give them the funding? If that USGS range map was never released to the public (like it should not have been), then would this silly "death camp" study even have been suggested in the first place? I am genuinely frightened by the seemingly non-existent checks and balances to which these Dept. of Interior scientists are subjected. Anything (not just this species of snake or that species of snake) can be banned if this lack of control continues.





>>This is what I call made for TV science. It really has nothing to do with solving problems. It is all about developing sensational headlines to bring attention to a hypothesis that is designed to garner grant money for further study. It is an alarming trend... science for the purpose of getting more funding... not science for the purpose of finding solutions to problems.
