| Description | What’s a biosphere? I mean, besides the one we call Earth?
If you’re just getting tuned into this year’s U.S. House race, I suppose you’ll find out in short order.
Matt Varilek, the Democratic challenger to Rep. Kristi Noem, was a teaching assistant in 1997 at the Biosphere 2 facility. The laboratory, in Arizona, started off with grand ambitions. Humanoid subjects were supposed to live in harmony among themselves and their environment in an enclosed ecology, cut off from the rest of the world, forced to go it on their own.
By the time Varilek arrived, the whole experiment of encasing humans in an artificial world, tasked with making it on their own, had collapsed as a failure. Still, the facility had value as a laboratory about human interaction and effects on the environment.
According to the Noem campaign, Varilek’s tie to this Biosphere 2 thing is more evidence that Varilek is a dingbat environmentalist. |
