Climate Change Deniers Exposed

Brad Johnson has written an article on the Think Progress website exposing the blatant anti-science bias by the Wall Street Journal regarding climate change.  Note at the end of the article the media sources who are also promoting this bias.  Can you see how this is consistent with their anti-science biases regarding other issues?

Eradicating Junk Science

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) has worked tirelessly in fighting pseudoscience/junk science.  Call this a Public Service Announcement that the battle continues.

Personal Attacks On Climate Scientists

The Board of Directors of The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) recently published a statement regarding personal attacks against climate scientists.  The statement begins:
"Reports of harassment, death threats, and legal challenges have created a hostile environment that inhibits the free exchange of scientific findings and ideas and makes it difficult for factual information and scientific analyses to reach policymakers and the public."
The anti-science atmosphere in the United States has spawned such activities.  It is long over the time when rational people need to speak out against science-deniers.  The United States, and the rest of the world, cannot afford this kind of thinking and action.

Disinformation About Global Warming

David Morrison, in a lengthy internet posting, presents information regarding the science behind global warming and how to recognize erroneous comments from its deniers.

Climate Change/Global Warming

While there is significant influence by industry, environmentalists, economists and government agencies in the discussion of global warming/climate change, objective science is quite clear on this matter. Evidence from multiple scientific disciplines strongly suggest that the earth is rapidly warming at a pace far exceeding past variations in climate and mankind very probably is a main contributor in this process. In addition, the expected negative effects of this process probably would be catastrophic to life on earth if something is not done to change mankind's contributing factors.
