Beyond disappointment in @johnfocook and his @skepticscience. It has become another scientology church.

Maybe @ggreenwald will want to make a paper on this:

"You mean the team of Biden ?
The oligarch team who's as dirty as Trump's team ?
The same Biden who has relentlessly hunted Snowden under Obama and forced both Snowden and Greenwald into exile?
Sure!

I used to appreciate reading "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" and "Skeptical Science". Now you both are deep in political platitudes.
Your rationals are completely outdated.

You should educate yourself and guess better on the future of climate under neoliberalism (be it nationalist or globalist) IF the issue really concerns you.

For people who still want to educate themselves instead of wasting their time reading rants, just follow @JMJancovici and @DrJamesEHansen. Those are quite apolitical (read "scientific mindset") and still at the top.

This next two points are dedicated to the @johnfocook's "critical thinking" fallacies

Anyone who wants to understand the pros and cons of evidence based science should start w/ Nancy Cartwright , one of the most influential philosopher in this field.

(2) To reach the deepest depths of the issue concerning **facts** in the so called "evidence base science"

This is the pantheon of scientific thinking

A final advice to @johnfocook @skepticscience :

**If you do not want people to comment at a political level, then do not post at political level.**

Start pouring water into your wine or you will continue to drive people away from your echo chamber.

Handy guide for Dominic Raab and other Brexiteers, and for anyone keen to replace our EU trade with trade with the rest of the world on WTO terms...


You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea


But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster


And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical


Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot
This is partly what makes it impossible to have a constructive conversation nowadays. The stubborn refusal to accept that opposition to Trumpism and GOP nationalism is about more than simply holding different beliefs about things in and of itself. 👇


It's fine for people to hold different beliefs. But that doesn't mean all beliefs deserve equal treatment or tolerance and it doesn't mean intolerance of some beliefs makes a person intolerant of every belief which they don't share.

So if I said I don't think Trumpism deserves to be tolerated because it's just a fresh 21st century coat of cheap paint on a failed, dangerous 20th century ideology (fascism) that doesn't mean I'm intolerant of all beliefs with which I disagree. You'd think this would be obvious.

Another important facet. People who support fascist movements tend to give what they think are valid reasons for supporting them. That doesn't mean anyone is obliged to tolerate fascism or accept their proffered excuse.


Say you joined a neighborhood group that sets up community gardens and does roadside beautification projects. All good, right? Say one day you're having a meeting and you notice the President and exec board of this group are saying some bizarre things about certain neighbors.
