Vanishing Australian native wildlife
"The Invasive Species Council said... findings revealed the growing disconnect between Australians and wildlife, as local species declined while introduced animals – like cats, foxes and rabbits – became an increasingly familiar sight."
"About 10% considered cats wildlife."
"About one in six NSW, QLD and Vic residents think foxes are native animals and a third believe quolls are introduced."
"One in five thought cane toads were native."
“Sadly Australia is a world leader in extinctions." >>

The Politics of Ignorance
One of the important ideas in the sociology of science is also one of the easiest to misunderstand: knowledge is socially produced. This does not mean that scientists simply make things up, it means something much more practical. Science is a human activity, it requires people, institutions, money, equipment, archives, universities, laboratories, communities and time. What we choose to investigate - and what we choose not to investigate - is therefore shaped by society. That means there is […] -

The bills seeking to shield oil companies from lawsuits send the message that “you can pollute with impunity,” said Carly Phillips of the Union of Concerned Scientists. “It’s really a thumb in the eye of places that are affected by climate change.”

But his techniques are inpsired by techniques studied THOROUGHLY by #agnotology
It surprises me very much because #nathancofnan claims to be wokring in the field of #epistemology & namely History of Biology Science
I'm wondering how #agnotology & #epistemology fields would react to his "fantasies" -

This mental landscape was prepared by all the oil lobby propaganda #agnotology constantly in "debates" in USA about #climatechange during the 2000's
Close to irak war bullsh*tting
USA takes the habit to discuss endlessly so as to promote falsity

Robert Socolow was a founder of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative of #Princeton University. He has articulated pathways to reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for minimizing climate change, especially the concept of climate stabilization wedge.
In his 2007 Senate testimony, Robert Socolow cited the proposed 500-MW H2 and #CCS project at BP's Carson refinery in California as evidence of the technology's commercial maturity. The project was highlighted as an example of a near-commercial, full-scale deployment effort.
But it never happened.

“History's what people are trying to hide from you, not what they're trying to show you. You search for it in the same way you sift through a landfill: for evidence of what people want to bury.” — Hilary Mantel, historical novelist
* Paraquat, Parkinson's Disease and Agnotology (The Deliberate Production of Ignorance)
"Nearly 60 years ago, a chemical company found that skin exposure to very high doses of its weedkiller paraquat caused “weakness and incoordination” in rabbits. Large amounts of the herbicide, which is used on corn, cotton, and vineyards, caused some mice and rats in its labs to develop a stiff gait or tremors. A decade later, an autopsy of a farm worker exposed to paraquat showed “degenerative change” in the “cells of the substantia nigra,” a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease." >>
https://movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/mds.29371* "Australia's chemical regulator has approved the restricted use of the controversial herbicide paraquat, which has previously been linked to Parkinson's disease...The regulator's review of the herbicide has been underway since 1997...The decision comes weeks after Australia's top neurologists said they had been ignored by the chemical regulator." >>

From climate denial to agnotology (the study of how ignorance and doubt are deliberately, culturally, or politically manufactured)

* Taktische Überbetonung von Unsicherheit
* Industrie-freundliche "Institute", ThinkTanks zur Generierung von Kontroversen und Pseudo-Dissens
* Pseudo-Experten
* Medienmanipulation (Ausnutzung "ausgewogener" Berichterstattung, faktisch BIAS)
