Climate scientist Kate Marvel about the climate denier narrative 'We'll just adapt':
"Adapt to what? Suppose we manage to “adapt” to the current game of whatever hellscape roulette we’re experiencing. What will we do when the world changes again?
...
Adaptation is a moving target until the climate stabilizes. That won’t happen until global greenhouse gas emissions reach net zero."
Als je verandering een beetje spannend vindt...

Nieuwe paper van Sergei A. Samoilenko en John Cook over misleidende ad hominem aanvallen door 'klimaatwetenschapontkenners'.
Beschuldigingen van vooringenomenheid, waarbij klimaatwetenschappers worden beschuldigd van politieke partijdigheid of het hebben van een ideologische agenda, kwamen het meest voor.

Wetenschapsontkenners zijn goed in het zich toe-eigenen van terminologie. In dit⬇️geval de term 'wicked scientists' (interdisciplinaire specialisten).

Interesting concept.
A fact-checked debate

@jossfong & Laura Bult
Pre-agreement on facts at least partially removes the question of which of the two debaters the listener can trust most.
Also gives listeners a chance to focus on fallacies....
"The same racketeering legislation used to bring down mob bosses, motorcycle gangs, football executives & international fraudsters is to be tested against oil & coal companies who are accused of conspiring to deceive the public over the climate crisis."
Our paper 'Science denial: A narrative review and recommendations for future research and practice' now published in European Psychologist! 🥳 (I shared this as a preprint some time ago)
With Samantha Stanley, Maria Ojala, and @ejrclarke, we aimed to answer the question: What leads people to deny even the strongest evidence and distrust the scientific method? Our focus was on climate change. We also made recommendations on measurement, science communication, & education.

Ik denk dat deze Medialogica uitzending maar weer laat zien dat de misleidende trukendoos van belanghebbenden (tabak, fossiel, agro, etc.) blijft werken.
Bewust gebruikte trucjes zaaien twijfel, worden nagepapegaaid vanuit de onderbuik en veroorzaken oneindige vertraging.
Een vd oplossingen: leer die 🐰🎩 trucjes doorzien zodat we het kunnen gaan hebben over de werkelijke dilemma's.
Zie bijv. Sks.to/plocc of speel het spelletje Cranky Uncle (ook beschikbaar in het NL).
