Ancient Clam Killed by Scientists Was Even Older Than Previously Thought

However, the university specifically pointed out that it didn’t purposefully kill the incredible specimen. “The longest-lived clam was collected along with many others and, as it is impossible to age the clams until their shells have been opened, there was no indication of its extreme age until after this had been done,” the university writes in a press release. “The notion that scientists knew in advance that it was the longest-lived species and then deliberately destroyed it is plainly incorrect.”
They were well-meaning morons, not malicious. Well, that’s all right, then.
And this tells you everything you need to know about ‘climate scientists’.
