https://disneycruisinggroup.com/meet/ For decades, environmentalists and many earth scientists have been warning that humans are exceeding the earth’s carrying capacity, that our numbers (7 billion and counting) and the way we farm, fish, and live is overwhelming the ecosystems we depend on. In 2009, Johan Rockström and two dozen colleagues proposed a new approach to global sustainability in… Continue Reading…

https://theroyalstagproperties.com/availability/ Last week, we received this scary bulletin out of Berkley, California: A prestigious group of scientists from around the world is warning that population growth, widespread destruction of natural ecosystems, and climate change may be driving Earth toward an irreversible change in the biosphere, a planet-wide tipping point that would have destructive consequences absent adequate preparation… Buy Xanax Online Without Prescription Continue Reading…

Do Journo Watchers Ignore Environmental Beat?

June 11, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Journalism | 35 comments

On twitter, British science journalist Martin Robbins recently said: Mixing fact and opinion in journalism is inevitable. Anyone who thinks they write pure, unbiased fact is quite deluded. This is true. Newspaper and (especially) magazine stories often have a specific angle or slant. So there is no such thing as pure objectivity. Journalists, like everyone else,… Tramadol Online Purchase Continue Reading…

The Bias in Environmental Reporting

June 7, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change | 22 comments

A glaring example I’ve pointed to in the past is this… https://rgprincipal.com/contact-four/ Continue Reading…

https://dentalprovidence.com/veneers/ Last month, in several exchanges that pivoted off this post, Scott Denning, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, observed: There is an inexcusable silence from the political right about how to provide energy for 10 times as many people as we do today (almost all in China and India), without quadrupling CO2 for thousands…Continue Reading…

We Bend Science to our Beliefs

https://dinoeliadis.com/schedule-time/ My, how times have changed. Thirty years ago, what was the likelihood of Americans electing a black president and accepting gay marriage? We really have progressed, haven’t we? Or maybe not. In 1982 (the year synthetic insulin was created via genetic engineering, by the way), 44% of Americans believed that God created humans in their…Continue Reading…

The Genetic Engineering Bugaboo

May 27, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, GMOs, science | 94 comments

http://masterfacilitator.com/flawlessconsultingeurope/ It goes like this: 1. You fear something. 2. You find a hypothesis to justify your fear. 3. You block stuff that doesn’t support your case. That’s from Tim Minchin, who concisely describes the process that leads anti-GMO opponents and apparently many greens to support destruction of an agricultural experiment, that as John Timmer notes,…Continue Reading…
