Reply to comment by cowens89 in Mikaela Shiffrin leads push for winter sports sustainability amid climate crisis by Kasprosian

I was meaning go to college for something STEM related. I shouldn’t assume, but I’m gonna go ahead with the assumption that you didn’t go to school for anything even arguably related to STEM. Perhaps you had a science class or two, which is definitely not the same thing. If you had, you’d probably be singing a different tune.

My degree is in Applied Science, but that’s medical. So you are correct, no STEM.

Did you take an astronomy or physics course in during your degree? That’s where I first learned how it worked. I also learned quickly how terrible of an idea it is to have layman reporters talk about this, since that’s how many people learn about climate change. It’s an incredibly nuanced subject, and our news media honestly doesn’t do a very good job of addressing that.
