To Score Quick, Cheap Points, Label Someone as Anti-Science

September 19, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Uncategorized | 106 comments

Buy Zopiclone 7.5 Mg Online When I was interviewing Robert Kennedy Jr. for my recent Washington Post magazine profile, there was one charge leveled against him that he deeply resented. “I am not anti-science,” he insisted on numerous occasions, and my suggestion a year ago that he was anti-science perturbed him more than anything. After all, Kennedy, like many greens, embraces… Buy Soma 350 Mg Online Continue Reading…

September 15, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, science | 45 comments

https://www.campingatlantide.com/halloween/ The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is embarking on a comprehensive study of genetically engineered (GE) crops. It will examine the historic development of agricultural biotechnology, assess the “purported” benefits and negatives of GE crops, review food and environmental safety issues, and explore where the technology may be headed. What is prompting such a deep dive into… https://www.campingatlantide.com/4668-2/ Continue Reading…

Holding a Beloved Figure Accountable for False Claims

August 24, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, science, Uncategorized, Vandana Shiva | 197 comments

Ambien Buy Online In 2002, the global GMO discourse chagrined anthropologist Glenn Davis Stone: Western audiences have been bombarded with deceptive rhetoric, spin, and soundbite science portraying the wonders—or horrors—of the new technology. He blamed both the biotech industry and anti-GMO activists for exploiting food security concerns to advance their own agendas. The article, published in the journal Current Anthropology,… https://www.soundcontrolroom.com/custom-creations/ Continue Reading…

On Double Standards and the Union of Concerned Scientists

August 22, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, science | 30 comments

Several weeks ago, the Union of Concerned Scientists posted a hard-hitting rebuttal to a famous environmentalist, someone who is normally an ally. Here’s a taste: A new and misnamed book co-authored by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak,  is filled with exactly the kinds of misrepresentations of facts and slippery slope distortions of… https://grenzzonederm.com/covid-19-resources/ Continue Reading…

A Profile of Vandana Shiva in The New Yorker

August 18, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs, Vandana Shiva | 40 comments

It’s not easy writing about Vandana Shiva. The Indian environmentalist is adored in green and progressive circles. Her exalted status has apparently disinclined many of my colleagues in the media from taking a closer look at what she stands for and what she often says on the global lecture circuit and to admiring journalists. Michael Specter… Xanax Buy Without Prescription Continue Reading…

Why it Matters What Liberal Validators Say on GMOs

August 4, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, AquaBounty, biotechnology, GMOs, science | 90 comments

https://www.cranewoods.com/services/real-estate-development-consulting/ When Neil deGrasse Tyson speaks, people listen. I was on vacation when America’s most prominent scientist made news for railing against GMO fearmongers. “Practically every food you buy in a store for consumption by humans is genetically modified food,” he told a French interviewer. It was an impromptu, oversimplified response on a complex, hot-button subject, but… Continue Reading…

Mike Adams Escalates his Ugly Anti-GMO Campaign

July 24, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs | 240 comments

I recently discussed what is perhaps the most twisted, disgusting anti-GMO tract ever written. It’s by Mike Adams, who as Jon Entine said earlier this year, is “a titan in the booming alternative lifestyle business, running dozens of websites promoting ‘natural’ products, many of them bogus or dangerous, which he relentlessly hawks online.” The main communication…Continue Reading…

Agriculture isn't Natural

June 12, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, Greenpeace | 17 comments

https://www.derekduck.com/faq/ In PLOS Biology, a UK geneticist offers some wise suggestions on how to move beyond the simplistic frames that dominate agriculture and the GMO discourse. She writes: First, it is necessary to move on from the well-worn logical fallacy that anything natural is good, and anything unnatural is bad. The application of this fallacy to agriculture…Continue Reading…

Opportunistic Scaremongering

May 28, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in autism, biotechnology, GMOs | 9 comments

https://fancyfrites.com/wildebeest-vancouver-bc/ In 2008, the animals rights group PETA was lambasted for a new ad campaign. Although the billboards were quickly taken down, the ridiculous article discussing the supposed link between autism and milk remains on the group’s website. Steven Novella and a columnist for the Telegraph (among others?) seem to have just discovered the article and mistaken it for a new campaign. Still, it’s…Continue Reading…

The Entrenched GMO Narrative

May 22, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, GMOs, science journalism | 23 comments

https://www.laalacenadelpastelero.com/wood-lamps/ Regular readers of Collide-a-Scape know that I’m interested in popular narratives that shape public discourse. I’m specifically interested in how science and environment-related topics are covered in the media, and how this coverage tends to create dominant narratives. Along these lines, I’ve explored the genesis and amplification of varied media narratives, from Jared Diamond’s collapse…Continue Reading…
