For nearly two decades Skeptical Science has been publishing rebuttals to #ClimateMyths, always following best understanding of how to honestly and most effectively communicate facts in an environment crowded with confusing misinformation.
Undoing harm caused to a human intellect isn't easy. Is Skeptical Science doing any good with this effort?
Having concluded a multi-year experiment with the cooperation of our readers, now we have some information on "how are we doing?". By formal assessment it appears we're not wasting our time.
You can see our results in our freshly published paper. Visit the link to read all about it.
Full disclosure: we're also asking for help with our publication fee (European Geosciences Union journals are 100% open-access but that does not mean they magically have no operational expenses).

What's #FLICC?
It's a taxonomical system for classifying different forms of bunk, allowing us to identify which particular cognitive weapons are being targeted at our psychological susceptibilities.
Some familiarity and practice with FLICC helps us to deal with the firehose of #ClimateMyths, #VaccineDisinformation and other rubbish lobbed into our brains on a daily basis.
How are your bunk detection skills right now? Try this fun little quiz!

"It's all about us!"
Well, no, no really. Too-rapid #AnthropogenicClimateChange is the topic here. Our beat is combating #SyntheticIgnorance about climate science, swatting down #ClimateMyths.
We treated the recently excreted carnival of #ClimateBunk "Climate: The Movie." We're delighted with the performance of our #debunking. So, we're dancing in the end zone with this as our Story of the Week in our latest #ClimateNews roundup.
