Sensationalism Buries Flint and Hampers Environmentalism (Vlog)

Zoologists and climatologists have challenged the narrative portrayed by the new Netflix documentary ‘Our Planet.’

This documentary tied walruses jumping to their deaths to global warming without giving due consideration to alternative explanations. This very much seems to be a case of sensationalism.

A sensationalism that is holding back environmental progress in the name of environmentalism. These sorts of things hog the spotlight and bury other real pressing issues.

Sargon of Akkad is a Bugeyed Boy Scout Loon – Ideology kills Nuance – Envirofail

By viewing this discussion via the lens of individualism vs collectivism Sargon has missed some key points. It, i.e ideological lenses and pathos are perennial problems with being a pundit. I’m not here to berate Karl but rather point out some misconceptions he’s allowed to seep in to his argument.

Fractal Radio | Episode 30 – Science vs Politics (Case Study)

On By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Current Events, Environment, Social Commentary, The Fractal Journal, UncategorizedLeave a comment

This little episode was prompted when one of my favorite pundits, Jimmy Dore, discussed the plans of some fisherman to sue oil companies for causing global warming. Which said fisherman implicate in their troubles catching fish.

I point out that nitrification from agriculture and urban sources is a much stronger causal link for marine life dieoffs.

I then launch into a broader discussion of the fact that science does not work by consensus, and dissect the ‘97% of scientists agree’ claim.

The boundary between science and politics needs to be understood and respected.

Thanks for watching.
