It’s a fit end to both an evil “editor” and a moribund pop-science publication.
Once upon a time SciAm was a legitimate scientific periodical with great articles on science. I stopped reading it long ago because too many articles became more about political advocacy than science. In recent years it became infected with climate wokeness and catastrophism that made it unable to represent both sides of open scientific questions, such as whether increasing atmospheric CO2 is a cause or effect of global warming.
