The GMO Labeling Debate

Order Valium Online There are two camps that favor labeling genetically modified [GM] foods: 1) The “Right to Know” people, who say they just want to know what’s in their food. This is a specious argument. The truth is they think there is something harmful about GMOs. Why else would they feel so strongly about labeling genetically modified…Continue Reading…

It's the Weather, Stupid *

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ Last year, in an interview with New York Times reporter Justin Gillis, CJR’s Curtis Brainard asked: There’s been a lot of debate about the extent to which media coverage does or does not influence public opinion about climate change and society’s willingness to address the problem.

Pandemic Chatter

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ I’m not on the pandemic beat, but some of the best science journalists are, and they are busy these days. Today, David Quammen, author of the recently published and critically acclaimed book, Spillover: Animal infections and the next human pandemic, has an op-ed in the New York Times.

Addicted to Twitter

Order Soma Online One of my favorite persons on Twitter is making a vow: One month of enforced twitter silence imminent. (other than tweeting about new shit on my blog.) — Robert Wilson (@CountCarbon) May 10, 2013 I’m betting $100 bucks he can’t do it.

Prince Charles is No Friend of Science

The Guardian reports that Prince Charles is standing up for climate science and criticizing the forces of climate change denial. If you know about the Prince’s GMO fear-mongering and falsehoods about GM crops and his dangerous promotion of alternative medicine (such as homeopathy), then you know he is not the best emissary for science. Indeed, one well-respected scientist…Continue Reading…

The Climate Fringe

Sometimes you have to sit back and marvel when the Wall Street Journal and the loony internet fringe are indistinguishable. Last month, Mike Adams, whose special brand of crazy can be found at Natural News, wrote an article that was sufficiently whacked for it to be reproduced by Alex Jones’ Infowars.com.

When Science Gets Politicized, Do Journalists Play Favorites?

In a Slate piece several months ago, I explored the pro-nuke argument from an environmental perspective. Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan made the case succinctly: If your concern is climate change, and you believe that slowing or preventing it is your fundamental priority, then nuclear power should be high up on the list for energy-production. He was responding to…Continue Reading…

Creepy Headline of the Day

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ Kangaroo Scrotums are the New Victims of Global Warming While reading this new piece from Vice magazine, I thought it was an Onion-like gag. I mean, really? Climate change is a huge concern for many, many reasons: the ice caps are melting, droughts are sweeping the world, and mega-hurricanes are striking cities that have never before had…Continue Reading…

Why Al Gore Can't Be the Face of Climate Activism

Purchase Xanax Online A long time ago, in the pre-blog era, I watched a TV debate on CNN between a newly minted U.S. Vice President and a quirky Texas businessman who, at one point during his extended 15 minutes of fame, was considered a serious presidential candidate. In the span of 90 minutes, Al Gore sold wavering Americans on the…Continue Reading…
