Before you answer, let’s look at a series of tweets by atmospheric science researcher Ryan Maue, who clearly has an opinion on this. We’ll start with this one from today: Every AP story on weather starts fine then at end includes climate change advocacy … it’s “left… Continue Reading…

Annals of Amplification in Journalism

https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/6a6ihxk71an 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://elisabethbell.com/0w9mdwobh Continue Reading…

Whose Side Are You On?

https://www.lcclub.co.uk/51z7da7973v My eight year-old son is not a disinterested sports fan. He knows as much about European soccer as I do (which is zilch), but when we’re in a barbershop for 15 minutes and Manchester is playing Barcelona, he asks me who we should root for.

The Polluted Keystone Pipeline Discourse

When a social cause gains momentum and becomes symbolically important, partisans inevitably hijack it for their own ends. They do this by trying to define and control the meaning of the cause and how it should be perceived. We’re seeing this play out now with the Keystone XL pipeline, which has become a touchstone for environmentalists… https://musiciselementary.com/2024/03/07/lo5ax0p Continue Reading…

Adapting to Climate Change Doesn't = Raising the White Flag

https://giannifava.org/8tj7h3q4 Remember when: Just a decade ago, ‘adaptation’ was something of a dirty word in the climate arena — an insinuation that nations could continue with business as usual and deal with the mess later. That’s Olive Heffernan, reminiscing several months ago in Nature. She goes on to say: But greenhouse-gas emissions are increasing at an… Tramadol Ultram Online Continue Reading…

How to Judge the Merits of the Keystone Pipeline Fight

Does it matter if a social movement hitches its wagon to the wrong horse? For the food movement and its embrace of the GMO labeling cause, I argued yes in Slate, because it is predicated on junk science and blind, simplistic mistrust of multinational corporations…The pro-labeling camp wants people to believe that eating “frankenfood” is dangerous… Continue Reading…

Why Scientists Should Never Try to Intimidate Journalists

A good way to capture someone’s attention is to start off by saying, “I have a few things to get off my chest…” This is how science writer John Horgan begins his latest post at Scientific American.  It works.
