Bad science headlines

Had a crappy day? Think your only friend is the dog? Got fired? Someone piss in your Wheaties? Just need to blow off some steam and rant? Here's the place to do it. No judgement, maybe some sympathy, possibly some advice... but definitely a safe place to go off on the world.

I mean, yes it is, but that's because of global warming and ocean acidification and other unsexy things that require unsexy mundane solutions. As opposed to a killer asteroid, which is basically the one world-threatening problem we can solve by shooting it.
