Science is facing *a lot* of obstacles these days. The final episode of BBC's Science in Action looks at where things are heading, with @michaelemann.bsky.social @naomioreskes.bsky.social & @angierasmussen.bsky.social @drdebhoury.bsky.social : www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w... #science #antiscience

Bill Gates recent remarks on climate change not leading to the "demise" of humanity reminded me of this piece of genius by the late great Tom Lehrer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAE...

I get asked a lot about how climate change denial in USA affected or was exported to the rest of the world. Read this: www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

This is an outstanding piece. Blaming boomers is just click bait. . cepr.net/publications...

Wow. This is so weird. I get the anger and frustration, but for the most part the people out protesting are NOT the ones who voted for tax cuts and deregulation, and not the ones who promoted bogus recycling. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Its amaxing to me how blatantly misogynistic many on the right have become. Thank you to #DavidFrench for this pitch perfect refutation of a preposterous claim. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/o...

Just did a super event in Bergen, Norway, at the #BergenInternationalFilmFestival, with filmmaker #RyanLough The film is called "You need this." You need to see it. www.imdb.com/title/tt2088...

Published today: One of the biggest #science #communication studies to date. We asked 71,922 people in 68 countries how they #engage with information about #science and combined the data with several country-level factors: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenAccess

2025 is an off cycle election year, but that does not mean there aren't important elections taking place. If you are looking for a place to give, consider my giving circle: www.grapevine.org/giving-circl... We're focused particularly on Virginia right now.

Happy to be on the RealOrganic podcast, with #DaveChapman. Left, right, or center, we should all be concerned about the monopolization of food, and its relation to pesticide overuse, exploited labor, climate change. (Not to mention food that just tastes like crap...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZz...

I don't know what we can do about this, but I do know that we have to know, and talk, and figure out what is next: pen.org/press-releas...

An excellent piece, underscoring how cruel and irresponsible it is to weaponize drug safety : The real problem with Tylenol (it’s not autism)

Thought provoking piece by my colleague #Charlie Tyson www.chronicle.com/article/can-...

It’s becoming a tragedy that we have to keep repeating this… or maybe a farce… newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/25/y...

A moving piece: I’m a former creationist. Here’s why ‘follow the science’ failed.

A reminder to coroprate America that attacks on science hurt us all www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/h...

I've been asked a lot about what happened at Harvard these past two years. I think this is a very fair summary: www.harvardmagazine.com/university-n...

Recently I joined PIIE's Policy for the Planet, where host Monica de Bolle and I discussed how attacks on climate science contribute to polarization and the demonization of science, and how to combat these trends. Listen wherever you get your podcasts: policyfortheplanet.com/how-to-comba...

Some years ago, Bayer tried to recruit me for a project on trust in science. (I listened, but then declined.) Now it’s clear not only do they not trust science, they don’t trust justice, either. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/c...

Congrats to @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social and colleagues for this important new paper www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For decades, fossil fuel companies championed the myth of a personal carbon footprint. @naomioreskes.bsky.social sat down with @thenomadicheart.bsky.social to explain how we can move beyond guilt and toward more meaningful climate solutions 🌎

New paper with @kaurov.org, professor Debra Javeline from Notre Dame, and UC San Diego's John Evans, showing that religious leaders are just not talking about climate change. Not disparaging it. Not denying it. Just not saying anything. doi.org/10.1007/s105... @jimantal.bsky.social

This is an older piece, but important to understand how bad actors mobilize meretricious arguments, and the press often fall for it. It's happening again with spurious arguments over vaccines. thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2...
