Going in for the Kill

Order Valium Online The wolf-pack is tearing away at Jared Diamond. Opportunity knocks: part of the reason…is to reclaim some of the ground among general readers lost to “experts” like Jared Diamond. With this series, StinkyJournalism.org and SavageMinds.org seek to capture that wider general audience for writings about anthropology.

Dowie's Bombshell of a Book

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ Whoa, this headline should snap a few necks back: Is modern conservation linked with ethnic cleansing? It’s a link to this article by Mark Dowie, which is based on his new book, Conservation Refugees: The Hundred-Year Conflict Between Conservation and Native Peoples.

The Climate Debate Litmus Test

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ Nothing bugs me more than when so-called progressives have their own litmus test on political issues. In the last two days, blogger Joe Romm has taken his fellow climate advocate, Jim Hansen, to the woodshed (see here and here), because of Hansen’s vocal opposition to cap and trade. One irony is that Hansen, in this…Continue Reading…

That Explains It

Part of me loves Andrew Sullivan’s blog because he spares us from having to wade through the bushels of crap he undoubtedly receives– though Sullivan often highlights and edits the best of his reader emails in a way that provides excellent counter-perspective to a particular topic or…Continue Reading…

He's Wrecking Their Brand

Anthropologists are fretting over the Jared Diamond fallout. Dudes, you can’t have it both ways; you can’t engage the public (which is what many of you want) without risking that your work will be interpreted in ways that you never intended. Diamond is an easy straw man because he’s not a member of your club….Continue Reading…

Black Carbon's Pandora Box

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ The riddle of EPA’s reluctance to consider soot a contributor to global warming has befuddled me since I read this story, which I thought made a solid case: While carbon dioxide may be the No. 1 contributor to rising global temperatures, scientists say, black carbon has emerged as an important No. 2, with recent studies…Continue Reading…

Filling the Void

Purchase Xanax Online “We are at the beginning of a great storm that is about to sweep the country,” predicts Abduh Rehman, who directs the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
