Yesterday, I authored a good embarrassingly bad OpEd piece released within the Wall Street Journal, the objective of that was to try and sow doubt and confusion over a realistic look at global warming. Among the author s primary points was when we are able to doubt Einstein (because of the current much-contended-over faster-than-light neutrino experiment) we are able to doubt climatic change.
Obviously, this example was this type of howler that lots of, lots of people in addition to me required fingers to keyboard to lambaste Robert Bryce, the writer of this OpEd. I believe my personal favorite is as simple as cartoonist Maki Naro, the very first panel which is here now (click it to determine the relaxation, that is great). Andrew Revkin, in the somewhat more reliable Gotham paper The Brand New You are able to Occasions, also considered in, making several fair points concerning the piece.
This nonsense also began an excellent Twitter hashtag, #WSJscience, that we am quite taking pleasure in perusing. A lot to ensure that I even posted my very own:
If serious researchers can question relativity, a fatally problematic WSJ OpEd suggests the written word doesn t exist. #WSJscience
