Finally I found out the ALT code for " ± " (plus or minus). This is the mathematical symbol used in science to indicate how correct the measurment is. Which my Meter Stick I can only measure something to the nearest two mm (milli-meter). So the length of the middle part of my left index finger is 27mm ± 2 mm. that is, the length of that part of my body is now somewhere between 27-2 = 25mm and 27+2=29mm. People who know about this accuracy indicator understand Science reports more (unfortunately, a lot of news reporters do not know about the ± acuracy indicator - so the message is lost).

ALT0177 (zero, one, seven, seven) is the code for ±
(or, if you grab it in your buffer, you can copy it all over the place)
ALT only works with the numeric key pad and not with the top row (numbers).
Hold down ALT, type on the keypad: 0177. When you release the ALT, the symbol will appear: ±

Sub topic: Why can't we have a civil converstaion about climate?

// Climate policy is stalled.The public needs to understand that scientific uncertainty is not the same thing as ignorance, but rather it is a discipline for quantifying what is unknown. \\

And I really have a problem with die-hard Young Earthers (YE) when I say this:

The world has used up half the fuel it took God's process 800 Million years to 'cook'.
And the USA used up 1/4 of all (200 million years of oil) in the past 60 years -- the
rest of the World has taken notice

Well, there are revisionist notions about what caused the Dustbowl, too. And as for the bison, they just decided to die off...
