#sciencedenialism — Public Fediverse posts

A Nature study tracked 20,000 Americans for decades. Very conservative respondents died of internal causes at 1.14% higher rates than very liberal ones — after controlling for age, income, race, geography. by @daylightatheism

The Trump administration is tearing up 900 deep-sea instruments that took a decade to install and $370 million to build — scrapping the world's most advanced ocean monitoring network to save $48m/year. Real-time data on AMOC stability, marine heat waves, ocean chemistry, commercial fisheries? Gone. Congress twice voted to save it. They did it anyway by bureaucratic fiat through the NSF. No, not budget management, this is deliberate science vandalism — blinding ourselves to the ocean systems that regulate global climate, because the results were inconvenient.

"Combatting science denialism depends on community-level collaborations, not individuals. In particular, experts need to be supported by academic and research institutions, policymakers, and journalists." - New paper: science denial, insect apocalypse and biodiversity loss, by @manusaunders on the Ecology is Not a Dirty Word blog.

Something that seems like it's gone under the radar is #PBS shutting down their #deia program and firing the program management. This is an infuriating and disappointing move by PBS to choose #compliance in advance rather than #defiance. Every inch we give to the #fascists is an inch we may never get back. Hold strong and #resist. The #resistance is having an effect, #muskrat and co are not invincible and your efforts matter.

Please call your local station and send a message to PBS headquarters. Tell them you are unhappy with their decision to support an illegal #coup of #hate, #violence, and #sciencedenial #sciencedenialism. Media needs to remain independent and unafraid of #fascism, something the big media #corporations have seemingly forgotten.

"Bees don't waste time telling flies that honey tastes better than crap."

It's a phrase I've seen often in response to science denialism, but it's even more fitting when you realize bees work to benefit their communities while flies just create hordes of diseased offspring to become a problem to the world.

Be a bee, not a fly.

Debunking science denialism does work—but not perfectly - Debunking the flat Earth is a relatively easy task. (credit: NASA)
