The packaging and selling of doubt about scientific knowledge
DOUBT from The Climate Reality Project on Vimeo. Once the folks peddling the products we discovered to be dangerous realized they didn’t need to actually DISPROVE the science, but to rather generate UNFOUNDED DOUBT about it, that’s when we started losing ground in defending reality against vested interests.

Climate noise amplification
Ever notice that once in a while, when observing scientific matters, you have a signal to noise problem that’s really difficult to overcome? I’m not talking about the actual problems of signal-to-noise in building studies, especially out of short and uncorrelated pieces of data.

How far can you make it through this video?
