Skeptical Science<p>We continue our collaboration with <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Gigafact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gigafact</span></a>, another non-profit with a specialized mission: provide impoverished newsrooms with brief, plain language <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateMythDebunkings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateMythDebunkings</span></a> ready to drop into news coverage.</p><p>Here's the latest output, covering <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/SeaLevelRise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SeaLevelRise</span></a>. </p><p>Sea level is fairly easy fodder for creating confusion; the behavior of sea level varies broadly depending on where on our <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/geoid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geoid</span></a> one measures.

Skeptical Science<p>The evolved US administration resembles what is termed paranoid psychosis, intractable attachment to perceptions that are not in alignment with the real world.</p><p>This is not organic illness. It's the result of too many people absorbing garbage ideas promoted by various industries acting in alienated self-interest. </p><p>The remedy? There's no single cure but one thing we can do is to supply reminders of what's real and what isn't, <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateMythDebunkings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateMythDebunkings</span></a> .</p><p>Here's a nudge. </p><p><a href="https://skepticalscience.com/fact-brief-species.html?utm-source=mastodon&amp;utm-campaign=socialnetworks&amp;utm-term=sks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">skepticalscience.com/fact-brie</span><span class="invisible">f-species.html?utm-source=mastodon&amp;utm-campaign=socialnetworks&amp;utm-term=sks</span></a></p>
Skeptical Science<p>"Stronger together!"</p><p>Having just launched our collaboration with the <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/SabinCenterForClimateChangeLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SabinCenterForClimateChangeLaw</span></a>, we continue our work with <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Gigafact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gigafact</span></a>. </p><p>"Are most glaciers growing?" Obviously not, but how is the average person to know, in an information environment crowded by fossil fuel funded <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateBunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBunk</span></a>? </p><p>One way is by providing news providers and consumers with concise, factual <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateMythDebunkings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateMythDebunkings</span></a>. </p><p>Here's the latest ready-to-serve treatment for newsrooms. </p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateMyths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateMyths</span></a></p><p><a href="https://skepticalscience.com/fact-brief-glacier.html?utm-source=mastodon&amp;utm-campaign=socialnetworks&amp;utm-source=sks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">skepticalscience.com/fact-brie</span><span class="invisible">f-glacier.html?utm-source=mastodon&amp;utm-campaign=socialnetworks&amp;utm-source=sks</span></a></p>
Skeptical Science<p>Here's the latest fruit of our collaboration with <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/GigaFact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GigaFact</span></a> to produce drop-in <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateMythDebunkings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateMythDebunkings</span></a> for staff at newspapers. </p><p>Many news organs are cut to the bone these days, especially smaller publications. We're trying to make it easier for journalists to keep people on the path of reality when dealing with stories touching on <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a>. </p><p>At 150 words there's no budget to explain how models have -always- been good enough to inform our decisions-- for decades.</p><p><a href="https://skepticalscience.com/fact-brief-model.html?utm-source=mastodon&amp;utm-campaign=socialnetworks&amp;utm-term=sks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">skepticalscience.com/fact-brie</span><span class="invisible">f-model.html?utm-source=mastodon&amp;utm-campaign=socialnetworks&amp;utm-term=sks</span></a></p>
