If aerobic exercise causes neuron growth, doesn't that mean doing aerobic exercise causes brain cancer?

The new head of the EPA disputes the idea that humans are contributing to rising global temperatures.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39221092
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/03/09/on-climate-change-scott-pruitt-contradicts-the-epas-own-website/
> “I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see,” Pruitt, the newly installed EPA administrator, said on the CNBC program “Squawk Box.”
> “But we don’t know that yet,” he continued. “We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis.”
A quick look at his background reveals that Pruitt is a lawyer, his BA was in political science, and he was previously the Attorney General for Oklahoma. Before that he managed a minor league baseball team. He has zero scientific education, training, or experience. Why does America think this man is qualified to determine America's stance on a scientific matter?
Americans, explain yourselves.

That's a motive for a policy decision. This is just a factual question, and it's being left to the least qualified person. The EPA has scientists who study the subject, why aren't they the ones making determinations of fact? Politicians can set policy priorities, but the question of what is actually happening should be left to the experts in that field.

Either be a perfectionist or so awkward and nervous that you have to rehearse your lecture multiple times before presenting it. Fear is a powerful motivator that way.

I think you can get away with less sleep by napping.
When I manage to take a short nap in the evening I feel better afterwards.

In theory, if you could sterilize a food or drink entirely to remove any and all traces of bacteria, microbes, and the like, and then seal it airtight, would that food or drink not require refrigeration?
For example, if you could totally sterilize milk and put it in an airtight container, would it no longer need to be refrigerated, at least until opened, and held in its container indefinitely, like for decades?

Does canned food require refrigeration?
They probably put stuff in those that could turn frogs gay though. Whether proteins would naturally denaturate depends on the the proteins themselves.

This is Common Core math. It's what high school kids are struggling with now.
Explain to me how a 12 yr old is supposed to understand this question? It's very abstract, which is beyond the comprehension of a 12 yr old watching girly cartoons on his computer.

Not really...
Assuming context:
Thinking like this could make the future generations understand math in a genuine way. They will understand the "why" of math instead of the "what" that fucked most kids in math over in the past.
I wish I was taught this when I was younger and my brain was more malleable. But to each his own...

What's your favorite STEM field and what kind of music do you listen to?
Big fan of theoretical math, though I'm too early in my college education to know which subfield I like best
I listen to everything but a lot of my favorites are harsh noise/PE and doom/sludge metal
