The Clubby Stink of British Journalism

Order Valium Online Another day, another revelation about the news gathering methods of a Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper in the UK–methods that some are referring to as “institutional criminality.” No doubt the curtain on Murchoch’s News International operations will be pulled back further in the coming days and weeks, revealing much more ugliness. The questions is, will it spur…Continue Reading…

A Complex, Combustible Landscape

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ This nuanced statement by Tom Kenworthy, a former reporter, was spot on until the very end (my emphasis): The reasons that the desert Southwest is having another extreme fire season are complex. They include decades of poor forestry and livestock grazing practices, misguided federal firefighting efforts that have prevented low-intensity fires in Ponderosa pine forests…Continue Reading…

Another Reason for Climate Paralysis

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ This climate conversation at the Wilson Center covers a lot of interesting ground and is well worth watching. For a taste, here’s one exchange between the host John Milewski and Edward Maibech, director of George Mason University’s Center for Climate Change Communication.

Wrong Turn for Science Journalism

Order Soma Online If you recall, last week I expressed some dismay that a three part series on global warming in Scientific American magazine was financed by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. To my surprise, no journalistic watchdogs (or science journalists) rose up to publicly question this unusual arrangement. But Bud Ward at the Yale Forum on Climate…Continue Reading…

Cautionary Advice for Climate Communicators

Why the Climate Debate is a Culture War

Now read this passage from the abstract of a recent study: The conventional explanation for controversy over climate change emphasizes impediments to public…Continue Reading…

Breaking Down That Wall

While reading the intro to the new SciAm blog network (launched today), this caught my eye: We are trying to eliminate the artificial line between “blogging” and “journalism” and focus on good, accurate writing, no matter what form it comes in or what software is used to produce it. Our bloggers are a part of…Continue Reading…

Can Environmentalism Reinvent Itself?

An intellectually bankrupt, marginalized social movement with an expired shelf life is at a crossroads. (Metaphor mix alert!) On Saturday, a Guardian article asked: Has the green movement lost its way? True, we have heard this tune before. This time, however, there is mounting evidence that more charter members of the club are at last recognizing that…Continue Reading…

Global Warming Shouldn't Hog All the Headlines

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ Is Mark Lynas, the author of Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet, downgrading global warming in his hiearchy of environmental concerns? In a recent post, he writes that biodiversity may well qualify as a more important planetary boundary even than climate change itself. By way of reminder, the “planetary boundary” concept was laid…Continue Reading…

Memo to Smug Greens

Purchase Xanax Online Here’s a delightfully salty essay from a fellow Brooklynite (of course!) which you should chew on while pondering the collapse of civilization. Pay special heed to this: There is a good reason that the environmental movement in this country — and those tiny, blonde Northern countries — do not win the hearts and minds of most…Continue Reading…
