The Ecological Insurgency

http://countocram.com/2024/03/07/m9o1jjdpt A new video by Climate Desk explains “how climate change is fueling wildfires” in the U.S. West. The truth is a good bit more complicated, which James West attests to in the accompanying text: In this video, Matthew Hurteau—assistant professor of forest resources at Penn State University—explains how warming temperatures, prolonged drought, and a century’s worth… https://www.goedkoopvliegen.nl/uncategorized/tbkyx0d Continue Reading…

Talking Points

Tramadol Online Overnight One of the maddening aspects of the GMO discourse is the conflation of industry concerns with science. The biggest example, of course, is the way Monsanto has become a proxy for anti-GMO sentiment. True, this dynamic is not unique to biotechnology. Debates on pharmaceuticals, energy, and agriculture revolve around multinational companies that are stand-ins for… https://www.worldhumorawards.org/uncategorized/jyg9mg2bxi Continue Reading…

Get Off My Cloud, Lowlife Spirits

Why do people turn to alternative medicine? After posing this question last year, Steven Novella said it’s not because western medicine is failing. Rather, he explained, many people have personal experiences with illness and health care, and personal experience can have a powerful influence on our beliefs (even if we are generally science and evidence-based… Continue Reading…

The Anguished GMO Debate

https://giannifava.org/z1f7i319l Just for kicks, take a guess when Michael Specter wrote this in the New Yorker: If the politics of genetically modified food has never been so anguished, the scientific prospects have never seemed more promising. The answer and his superb piece can be found here. Consider: Since his article appeared, the angry politics of genetically modified… Continue Reading…

When Newspapers Collaborate with NGOs

As far as explainers go, I thought this Guardian piece discussing possible links between climate change and extreme weather was pretty good. What’s interesting to me is that it was written by Bob Ward, the policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.  It’s part of a larger… Continue Reading…

Climate Puffery

https://fotballsonen.com/2024/03/07/5ntat9zt0oy Many people lament the sulfurous climate change discourse, myself included. At this point, the well is so poisoned that I find myself increasingly avoiding the topic. Most of those who read this post already have a strong opinion on climate science. Anything I write is automatically viewed through a skewed lens. True, none of us… Continue Reading…

The Specter of GMO Pot

The Middle Ground

Staking out the middle ground in these polarized times is not an easy thing to do. I know this from experience. For example, I’m pretty comfortable with what science tells us about climate change. To me, there’s a cumulative body of evidence that rises to the level of concern. But I also realize there is… https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/p0pjnol Continue Reading…

Critic of Pseudoscience = Defender of Industry?

https://tankinz.com/ckqjewz4h If you follow the public debate on genetically modified foods, you know it’s become unhinged from reality. This is because green groups and influential voices in the food movement have allowed the fringe to hijack the conversation. Now that those furies have been let loose, it’s going to be that much harder to have a civil dialogue… https://www.lcclub.co.uk/zwhgyiw9y Continue Reading…

A Controversial Claim: Climate Change = War & Violence

https://www.jamesramsden.com/2024/03/07/r7qrefb2jsc In the late 2000s, the notion that climate change could trigger wars and geopolitical instability gained currency in military and intelligence circles. Security scholars gave credence to the possibility, think tanks were debating it and the media had another angle into the climate story. (I covered this news at the time–see here, here, and here.) One book… Continue Reading…
