Why do environmental debates almost always turn into polarizing slugfests? Well, such debates focus on problems identified as significant threats to the planet and human welfare. People fight over how big (or negligible) a certain threat is and what the solution should be. The fiercest battles are between people who have different values, which turns into… Tramadol Online Purchase Continue Reading…

Maybe Extinction Isn't Forever. Is That a Good Thing?

March 14, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in conservation, conservation biology, ecology, environment, extinction, select | 24 comments

Have you heard about the big event National Geographic is hosting with TEDx this week, the one about restoring species? No, not endangered species–but ones that are already extinct, like the woolly mammoth. I have mixed feelings about the idea. In the abstract, I think it’s pretty cool.

https://dinoeliadis.com/schedule-time/ As someone who tracks environmental discourse in real time, I find it valuable to step back on occasion and look at how public attitudes are shaped.

Ambien Without Prescription The cover story in the April issue of Discover is about the anti-GMO movement in Europe. I found it interesting but also narrowly centered on the opposition in Germany. For example, the piece neglects to discuss, much less mention, a widely publicized event last summer involving a UK government sponsored research lab.
