Do Journo Watchers Ignore Environmental Beat?

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

https://dinoeliadis.com/city-of-largo/ 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,… Continue Reading…

The Bias in Environmental Reporting

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

https://worklivelaos.com/old_morning_market/ When reports are issued by environmental advocacy groups, they are invariably taken at face value by environmental journalists. Oftentimes the report’s methodology and claims aren’t subject to any critical examination. What usually results are one-sided stories that treat the advocacy group’s report as gospel. A glaring example I’ve pointed to in the past is this… Continue Reading…

Beware of Labels

https://www.secpeinvestments.com/cameroon-investment/ As I mentioned yesterday, I participated in a panel discussion at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) on environmentalism. The event centered on Roger Scruton’s new book, “How to Think Seriously About the Planet: The Case for an Environmental Conservatism.” (My fellow panelists included Daniel Sarewitz of Arizona State University and Kenneth Greene, an AEI resident scholar,… Continue Reading…

Conservatives Who Think Seriously About the Planet

June 5, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, conservatives, environmentalism | 564 comments

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

June 2, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, geoengineering | 98 comments

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…

Ripple Effects

May 28, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change | 33 comments

https://growthjourneytherapy.com/methods/narrative-therapy/ 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…Continue Reading…

The Genetic Engineering Bugaboo

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

Buy Lyrica Without Prescription 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…

Have you Had Enough Spin Yet?

Order Tramadol Overnight 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…

When Will Greens Move on to the Next Cause?

May 17, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, environmentalism | 15 comments

https://dentalprovidence.com/crowding/ 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….Continue Reading…

Redrawn Climate Battle Lines Come into Focus

May 10, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics | 191 comments

http://masterfacilitator.com/eqicertifiedtrainers/ 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…Continue Reading…
