Throwing the Baby Out With the Bathwater

In Europe, anti-GMO activism has turned increasingly confrontational, which seems to have backfired in one recent case. In the United States, anti-GMO sentiment has taken a different form, which Amy Harmon of the New York Times wrote about last week in this excellent piece: For more than a decade, almost all processed foods in the United… https://fotballsonen.com/2024/03/07/g5d2eld Continue Reading…

Ripple Effects

https://www.goedkoopvliegen.nl/uncategorized/63iguhpdi So what are the broader cultural, political and economic ripples of the German nuclear phase-out? On the one hand, it will send a signal to the world that nuclear is dated and dangerous and that switching it off is a greater priority than limiting carbon emissions as swiftly as possible. It will also damage the… Order Tramadol Online Australia Continue Reading…

The Genetic Engineering Bugaboo

Tramadol Overnight Paypal 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,… http://countocram.com/2024/03/07/z1earvrcnl Continue Reading…

Is Environmentalism Anti-Science?

That’s the title of a new post I have up at Discover magazine’s website. I’m specifically drilling down into the widespread anti-GMO activism/sentiment within the green movement. As I write at Discover: The big story on this front of late has been the planned act of vandalism on the government-funded Rothamsted research station in the UK. Scientists there are… Continue Reading…

Have you Had Enough Spin Yet?

https://www.worldhumorawards.org/uncategorized/obcvhntod7v It’s not easy when you stop trusting particular sources of information. It tends to reorder your world. Oftentimes there’s a precipitating event that suddenly puts the source in a different (and unflattering) light. This appears to be the case for John Callender, a birder, computer programmer, and blogger.  Callender is an avid consumer of climate media, particularly… Continue Reading…

Eco-Jerks

I have a confession to make. When I shop at a neighborhood foodie store for some organic staples, I sometimes forget to bring the environmentally correct, reusable grocery bags. It’s deliberate. For one thing, it pisses off my wife, a woman who hordes clothing catalogs the way I once collected comic books, and whose online… Tramadol 50Mg Buy Uk Continue Reading…

Will Science Save Us?

Wired magazine has an interesting interview with biologist and science entrepreneur Craig Venter, who, as Wikipedia describes, is most famous for his role in being one of the first to sequence the human genome and for his role in creating the first cell with a synthetic genome in 2010. The discussion is wide-ranging. At one point, Venter… Continue Reading…

When Will Greens Move on to the Next Cause?

Tramadol Order Online Uk Some time ago, a mischievous person who works in the environmental/science communication sphere brought something to my attention: Laurie David, the producer of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth documentary, apparently became bored with global warming activism and moved on to a new cause. Nobody says that green activists should remain tethered to one particular issue…. https://musiciselementary.com/2024/03/07/4j9qnzmo Continue Reading…

What is the Meaning of Sustainable Development?

https://wasmorg.com/2024/03/07/xiylwhqmx In the run-up to next month’s Rio Earth Summit, we’re going to see a steady stream of bad news about the global environment. When that happens, let’s hope that some of our respectable media do more than regurgitate NGO press releases and talking points. Alas, the Guardian shows us what not to do in this… https://elisabethbell.com/9344b6cl6o Continue Reading…

Redrawn Climate Battle Lines Come into Focus

https://www.lcclub.co.uk/fkv7to2mozw Two seemingly disparate events this week underscore major shifts in the climate discourse–at least in the U.S. One is the defeat of Senator Richard Lugar in the Indiana Republican primary. The other is this NYT op-ed from NASA climate scientist James Hansen. What’s the connection? Well, each, in its own way, illustrate the newly established… http://countocram.com/2024/03/07/1zbx2wyjp5p Continue Reading…
