May 8, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, GMOs, science, science journalism, select | 23 comments

In a Slate piece several months ago, I explored the pro-nuke argument from an environmental perspective. Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan made the case succinctly: If your concern is climate change, and you believe that slowing or preventing it is your fundamental priority, then nuclear power should be high up on the list for energy-production. He was responding to… Buy Clonazepam Without Prescription Continue Reading…

Guest post by Ramez Naam.   Keith Kloor has graciously given me the opportunity to guest post here again.  So let me cut to the chase: I support GMOs.  And we should label them.

Order Lorazepam Online In recent years, we’ve seen episodic waves of hysteria over reports of brain tumors and other cancers allegedly caused by cell phones and WiFi. If I had to trace this legacy of electromagnetic fear back in time, I would credit a 1979 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology and a series of  articles in the New Yorker (under… https://www.soundcontrolroom.com/shop/ Continue Reading…

February 25, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in anti-vaccination movement, science, science journalism, select, whooping cough | 12 comments

A New Paradigm Will Help Navigate the Anthropocene

February 15, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, ecology, environment, resilience, Resilience Science, science, select | 12 comments

As anyone who follows environmental discourse knows, sustainability is more than a popular buzzword. It’s a concept that frames all discussion on climate change, development, and ecological concerns. For example, today’s line-up of sessions at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting includes a panel called, “Getting to Global Ecological Sustainability: Climate… Continue Reading…

Real Freethinkers Don't Try to Close Down Debate

February 14, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in atheism, religion, science, select | 116 comments

Every movement has a discourse that is shaped by people who are passionate, committed, and forceful. Some feel so certain in their rightness that they try to control the discourse and purge those deemed insufficiently true to the movement’s cause. A political example of this would be today’s U.S. Republican Party, which, as David Frum…Continue Reading…

Purchase Ambien Online That’s not really a fair question, because they’re both vital. But if I was the administrator at a university and a foundation offered me funding to establish a program curriculum for one or the other–which would result in a mandatory class for all in-coming freshmen–I would choose news literacy.

Why Science Fails to Persuade

January 24, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in alternative medicine, homeopathy, science, science communication, select | 1 comment

One of the big reasons why evidence-based arguments so often fail to persuade is that people turn to their own trusted sources for information. For example, I know that Vandana Shiva is peddling a load of horseshit about Indian farmers committing suicide en masse supposedly because of Monsanto and GMOs. (There’s a part of me…Continue Reading…
