Historic Analogies for Climate Change are Beguiling

Order Valium Online It is just about as obvious that AGW [anthropogenic global warming] is not a serious problem as it was that the Nazis weren’t in 1936. Plenty of supposedly reasonable people had plenty of reasonable reasons to do nothing about it then, but today we just think they were stupid. Wasn’t it just obvious, weren’t the…Continue Reading…

When Life Gets in the Way

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ Miller-McCune has an article titled, “Why Isn’t Climate Change on More lips?” It starts off: Eighty-three percent of Americans believe the Earth is heating up, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsons poll. Yet most live as though global warming isn’t taking place, even while knowing that it is. The piece goes on to discuss an array of denial devices…Continue Reading…

About Those Cute Teddy Bears

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ I just read a post that leads off this way: In January 2009, new voluntary pharmaceutical industry guidelines on marketing to physicians went into effect (David 2010), which emphasize disclosure and transparency regarding the relationship between physicians and pharmaceutical companies. They also require changes in how pharmaceutical companies market products to physicians. In fairness, the…Continue Reading…

The Durban Climate Deal and Cognitive Dissonance

Order Soma Online There’s something remarkable happening this week in the climatesphere. People who routinely thunder that we are on the verge of climate doom have mostly shrugged at the lackluster outcome of the recent climate summit in South Africa. I’m wondering if they’ve self-medicated themselves with sedatives. Consider that, last week Grist’s David Roberts wrote (his emphasis): If…Continue Reading…

Playing Kick the Can

Order Ultram Online So you’ve probably heard there was some sort of climate agreement reached this past weekend. The spin afterwards was impressive and misleading. (The media’s collective interpretation was mostly perplexing.) Here’s my modest attempt at the Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media at untangling what went down and what it means for the bigger picture.

The Real Challenge for Environmentalists

On Friday, when most environmentally-inclined people were despairing about the the torturous climate talks in South Africa (since ended, good roundup and assessment here), a short op-ed appeared in the NYT, arguing that despair over the fate of the planet was getting a bit stale. The three authors of the piece–a journalist and two scientists–don’t…Continue Reading…

A Critic of Science Journalism Dons a Masquerade

There are two recent critiques of science journalism that paint very different pictures of the profession. One of them, an editorial in Nature this week, is more broadly aimed at the news media in general, and decries “scientific ignorance of the press,” agenda-driven stories, and “journalism that favors attitude over accuracy.”  The criticism is directed at…Continue Reading…

Can Religion and Science Find Common Ground?

Roger Cohn, the editor of Yale Environment 360, conducted an interesting interview with Mary Evelyn Tucker, a scholar who studies the intersection of ecology and religion. This is a perennial interest of mine, even though I’m a life-long atheist. Most people in the world (including many scientists) possess a religious faith or seek out some kind…Continue Reading…

The Climate Skeptic as Political Proxy

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ Shawn Otto, author of the recent book, Fool Me Twice: Fighting the Assault on Science in America, left an interesting comment at the thread of my recent Yale Forum post: The reason the [climate] skeptics have any power at all is not because what they say is credible, because based on the facts it is…Continue Reading…

Huntsman Surrenders High Ground, Joins the Crazy

Purchase Xanax Online Reading Jon Huntsman’s new-found equivocation on climate change reminded me of Bill Clinton’s flexible definition of the word “is.” There’s just no way you can be a politician and keep your soul from rotting. But hey, at that level of the game, how much soul can they have left? So why has Huntsman suddenly become squishy on…Continue Reading…
