Well, it was nice knowing you all...
The odds of some for-profit govt contractor not making a worse hot mess of the climate is pretty much zero.

I'm disgusted by the hyperbole but relieved the story is a lie.
No, dire wolves haven't been brought back from extinction, and I don't believe any species should be, at least for now.
We are careless and irresponsible and restoring extinct species will have negative unintended consequences that outweigh all possible positive consequences.

I agree this is not benign. But also another example of why research groups need statisticians - a sample of 9!
Been wondering about Masking and the repeated claims that gold standard, random assignment, double blind trials are needed before N95 masks should be issued to healthcare workers.
Anyone seen gold standard, random assignment, double blind trials on skin diving masks?
Or is it ok to rely on physics and engineering in such circumstances?
What's the term for demanding ridiculous sorts of evidence?

How the hell do shows like "NASAs Unexplained Files" get made let alone air time?
What is the motivation to produce such absolute drivel?

A panel briefing which, as the Grauniad helpfully points out, was organised by the RCP/Furedi-cult front known as the Science Media Centre.
Shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

I personally unsubscribed for good. If I can't trust her not to do bad science in a subject I am well-versed in, I definitely can't trust her in subjects I am not well-versed in.

I mean of course that’s funny, but it also suggests that the methodology of the report might not be all that robust.
Does the report ask teenagers to… just… tell?
Have they met any teenagers lately? Do they know what teenagers do when asked cringey questions?
I HAVE NEWS.
