A Dogmatic Polemicist or Rhetorical Bomb Thrower?

Order Valium Online In a perfect world, people would not let their ideology warp their thinking. In a perfect world, people would not use screechy hyperbole to fulminate against those who don’t share their position on a given issue. In a perfect world, James Delingpole, the flammable blogger for the UK’s Telegraph, would only be permitted to shriek about which…Continue Reading…

The Conversation on Guns

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ At 3pm on Friday and with a heavy heart, I scooped up my youngest from his kindergarten class. An hour later, I was in a packed school auditorium, videotaping his older brother and his fellow 3rd graders as they sang and danced in the school’s holiday show. It was a joyous occasion. But thoughts about…Continue Reading…

Do Greens Have an Unhealthy Nature Fetish?

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ Discover magazine readers familiar with my byline know that I tackle science-related issues that are often controversial and that sometimes my take hits a nerve. For example, in recent months I’ve written a few pieces for Slate on genetically modified foods (see here and here) that got a fair amount of play (at least in…Continue Reading…

My Journey Takes Me to Discover Magazine

Order Soma Online Life is funny. Thirty years ago, when I was a college freshman, I was most passionate about partying, skateboarding and writing for my  school newspaper. This is when I fell in love with journalism. I wrote articles about the nuclear freeze movement in Europe, why I was an atheist, and about student government shenanigans. The…Continue Reading…

How Green is Your Steak?

Order Ultram Online Which is better for the environment: Grass-fed or corn-fed cows? The question is not as simple as you might think. Eco-minded meat eaters tend to assume that free-ranging cattle nibbling on grassy pastures is superior to herded cows fattened on corn in concentrated animal feeding lot operations (CAFO’s).  Slate explored this assumption in 2010. (There is also a similar…Continue Reading…

Collide-a-Scape is Moving to Discover Magazine

This is a fun and exciting announcement to make. It’s been nearly four years since I launched Collide-a-Scape midway through my fellowship at the University of Colorado’s Center for Environmental Journalism (CEJ). Initially, I had thought I’d blog on the intersecting cultural/environmental issues specific to the Southwest. Of course, since it was my blog, I had license…Continue Reading…

When Scientists Advise on Politically Charged Issues

Paul Nurse, a geneticist and the President of the UK’s Royal Society, gave an address last month titled, “Advising Society on Science.”  He discusses the most controversial issues that characterize public debate on climate change and genetically modified foods. Much of what he says strikes me as thoughtful and reasonable, though I see his comments…Continue Reading…

Help! My Couch Is Leeching Cancer-Causing Dust.

My wife, bless her heart, goes the extra mile to protect our two boys from ubiquitous nasties, like BPA chemicals, pesticides, and high fructose corn syrup. It’s a fairly impossible task to avoid such exposures in the modern world. Still, the kids have a virtual organic food diet and all our household cleaners are eco-friendly,…Continue Reading…

The Food Movement And The Horse It's Tied To

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ Several weeks ago, I wrote a piece for Slate that was critical of the Food Movement and some of its leading lights, such as Michael Pollan. Like my previous GMO-related essay for Slate, this one struck a nerve. Shortly after it appeared–and after a proposal to label GMO foods was rejected by California voters–Pollan gave…Continue Reading…

Is Clean Coal Ready for Primetime?

Purchase Xanax Online Do you remember BP’s Beyond Petroleum ad campaign in the 2000s?  As a writer at Adweek noted in 2010 (in the wake of BP’s disastrous Gulf of Mexico oil spill), the campaign “has always been borderline ludicrous, positioning the oil company as essentially anti-oil (or post-oil).” Well, if that was ludicrous, what do we call the idea…Continue Reading…
