Tramadol 50 Mg Price A continuing\u00a0concern<\/a>\u00a0of climate science is the subject of a new paper<\/a> in Nature<\/em>:<\/p>\n

When this issue last gurgled up to the media’s attention in late 2011 in sensationalist fashion, science journalism watcher Charlie Petit wrote <\/a>that Andy Revkin provided the most “diligent response.” \u00a0Revkin’s\u00a0string of posts<\/a>\u00a0remain an invaluable reference point today. It’s worth recalling that, at the time, Revkin tried to tamp down<\/a> all the hype<\/a> over “Arctic methane time bombs.”<\/p>\n

Buy Clonazepam Without Prescription In a similar vein, William Connolley takes issue with this press release<\/a> accompanying the recent Nature<\/em> paper. Connolley, in his typically pointed and colorful manner, writes<\/a>\u00a0(my emphasis):<\/p>\n

In a recent post<\/a> discussing media hype of research findings, Orac says<\/a> it’s time that scientists look in the mirror. He specifically zeroes in on hyped press releases of studies, which more often than not contain (vetted) eye-popping quotes from lead investigators. Referencing a (must-read) 2012 BMJ study<\/a>,\u00a0Orac writes that, when it comes to exaggerated claims,<\/p>\n

\u00a0we as an academic community are at least as much to blame as reporters and the media companies for which they work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With respect to climate science, because of the the ugly politicized nature of global warming, most climate scientists are loathe to call out the exaggerations of their colleagues or their vocal blog allies. I’m guessing they don’t want to be perceived as giving ammunition to the Anthony Watts and Marc Moranos of the world.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, some science bloggers<\/a> have an independent and irascible streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
