https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/ocjl6n7v In 2013, a psychology professor reviewing Malcolm Gladwell’s latest best-selling book was critical of the author’s modus operandi: He excels at telling just-so stories and cherry-picking science to back them. That charge had been percolating for a while, but people were suddenly paying more attention to it, including science journalists. After the WSJ review triggered a larger debate on… Best Price Ambien Online Continue Reading…

A Plea for for a More Constructive Climate Debate

March 12, 2015 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Uncategorized | 57 comments

In the Guardian, Mark Lynas writes about the “need to recapture the climate debate from the political extremes.” Good luck with that! I’m afraid this proverbial horse has left the barn. Of course, you should still read the piece, because it’s a necessary reminder of the real dynamics that shape the public discourse on climate change. As… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/ice8g9mz Continue Reading…

Climate Communication Undermined by Inflammatory Language

February 4, 2015 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate communication, climate science, global warming | 388 comments

A recent article in Slate carried this headline: If You Don’t accept Climate Change is Real, You’re Not a Sceptic. You’re a Denier. I’ll return to its claim in a minute. The piece, by Arizona State University professor Lawrence Krauss, ruefully notes that the term “climate skeptic” is frequently used in the media as a… Continue Reading…

Of the all the famous names associated with climate change, there are two I would love to see headlined in a debate–against each other. Both of these individuals believe global warming presents an existential threat, both believe Big Green is part of the problem, and both offer a radically different path to decarbonization of the… Continue Reading…

The Dirty Art of Character Assassination

December 4, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics, climate science, global warming, select | 151 comments

In a 2010 editorial, the journal Nature told embattled climate scientists to wise up and “acknowledge that they are in street fight” with their nastiest detractors. At the time, this seemed like a reasonable admonition, since climate scientists were indeed under siege following an illicit disclosure of emails that put the climate science community in an unfavorable light….

This, according to a new widget created by the folks at Skeptical Science. Such a handy little… https://www.fogliandpartners.com/z2aba4k Continue Reading…

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…

Journalists Explore Climate Complexity

June 19, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate science, select | 29 comments

There is much to recommend this article in the New Republic by Nate Cohn, starting with the sub-headline: Grappling with climate change nuance in a toxic political environment It is an ungrateful task to interrogate the complexities of climate change (which extend to the policy side of the equation) so props to Cohn for taking… https://www.plantillaslago.com/g88hnhzuxd Continue Reading…
