>money
But all the money is in business. In fact, if you suck corporate dick you can make millions as a scientist. History is replete with scientists who sold their souls to corporations from Thomas Midgley Jr who lied about the dangers of leaded gasoline to all the researchers who lied about cigarettes for decades.

You dumbfucks have to twist yourselves into absolute knots in order to not only ignore the mountains of evidence about climate science but to conjure up the most ludicrous conspiracies imaginable just to suck oil company dick. Oil companies who know the science is against them so badly, they now openly admit it

>As Shermer observed, many science journalists see their role not as neutral reporters but as advocates for noble causes. This is especially true in reporting about the climate. Many publications now have reporters on a permanent “climate beat,” and several nonprofit organizations offer grants to help fund climate coverage. Climate science is an important field, worthy of thoughtful, balanced coverage. Unfortunately, too many climate reporters seem especially prone to common fallacies, including base-rate neglect, and to hyping tenuous data.

Scientific American became complete garbage around 5 years ago. Unreadable.

bump

>>16173020
It's been garbage for at least 20 years. I'm not sure what changed 5 years ago, but I can only imagine DEI authors and gender nonsense.

>>16172487
>have you read this text? thoughts?
I read about halfway through. I would have to read the columns that Michael Shermer submitted to properly comment on it.

>>16172571
well, we're done here.

>>16173020
its been trash for decades

>>16173595
Its owned by German WEF members

>>16172524
He is a massive fatso these days. He probably ate that PhD

National Geographics got destroyed the same way. Did Popular Mechanics?

>>16176857
all those media outlets are owned by the same people

>>16177679

>>16172487
its manipulative popsci trash, always has been. those kind of publications strongly appeal to the type of people who prone to dunning krugerism, they read a two page article and presume they're then as expert as people who've been in their field for decades

>>16172487
its just another political propaganda rag thinly disguised as a science publication, everything in there is a lie

>>16180645
Same goes for Nature

>>16181103
its true for just about every major publication, its necessary effect of having a monopolized media, they all shill the same lies

>>16180645
scientific american has never been a scientific journal, it has always been pop-sci
prove me wrong

All of these were once based publications, maybe better for teenagers than for grownups but still perfectly respectable. They usually stayed away from politics. Sometime between 1994 and 2024 one by one they nosedived into the absolute faggot field and are thoroughly pozzed and monkeypoxxed

>>16182849
check this out XD

big freeze 1973 cover was about oil crisis
big freeze 1977 cover was about icy winter

they are not about climate. This is a chud pic

>>16178816
who indeed

>>16172487
Sciam is one of those publications that triggers to Gel-Mann amnesia effect in low IQ individuals who've had a specialty education in a scientific field and triggers being thrown into the garbage by everyone else who has had a specialty education in a scientific field. If you read any of their articles about whatever it is you majored in, you will immediately presume the publication is trash unless you're stupid

>>16185664
tsmt
once i read an article in there about my field i never read that publication again. you can learn more reading used toilet paper

Most of them not only have had complete turnovers in their staffs, but are now owned by completely different entities. The only thing they have in common with their pre-2000 editions is the name on the masthead. They use that name's credibility inertia to squeeze out a few decades of relevance for their propaganda message.
Most of these magazines have fallen into deep declines in readership but the credibility of the name built up in the last century is worth the cost of production to get their message out into the world. They don't need people to read their articles if they can get others to repeat the message and use the name's credibility as the source. Wikipedia considers all of them as valid sources while Bob's substack page might have ten times the quality, it's not considered a valid source even if Bob is a top researcher in his field.

>>16189159
who is Bob?

>>16189159
>Most of these magazines have fallen into deep declines in readership
yet somehow or other they still stay afloat and continue to sell advertising. does this disprove the theory that we live in a capitalist society?

>>16190253
Jeff Bezos didn't buy the Washington Post for the advertising revenue, it just helps defray some of the cost. Same for many of these "science" magazines. They exist to push messages and give them the veneer of legitimate science. Subscription fees and advertising money is a nice way to lower some of the costs involved but aren't actually necessary.
>>16189292
He's a big boy.

>>16190577
Bezos bought the post because he can use it as a means to lobby congress to give money to his other businesses, since everyone in DC, including members of congress. reads the post every day.

>>16191745
He made $20 billion in defense department contracts for Amazon within a year of paying $250 million for the post

>>16191745
>everyone in DC, including members of congress. reads the post every day.
how do you know?

>>16192506
Thats where I live and work

>>16172487
those ones on the left are correct, the current interglacial period peaked thousands of years ago and we've been cooling off ever since

>>16193308
are you a cia-glow-in-the-dark-nigger?

>>16194279
No, but I know a lot of those people. They're mostly jewish, the CIA is strange for a government agency in that very few blacks work there if any. I can't remember ever encountering anyone black connected to the CIA. Terry's epithet is inaccurate in that way

>>16195549
doesnt CIA have DEI department?

>>16193824
Ice age incoming

>>16196453
Unironically until humans started warming the planet with our waste heat. A warmer, wetter world is better for humanity anyway. New deaths from extreme heat will be dwarfed by cold weather death reduction. Climate change is a net positive, as is higher CO2.

>>16196197
No, they're exempt from all domestic laws.

>>16172497
Something like HALF of Tesla's life time earnings are from selling scam carbon credits, just like Al Gore does. Let that sink in, half of Tesla profits are worthless greenwashing certificates that mean nothing. The other half is free gibs from the US government.

>>16196468
>cold weather death reduction
Almost nobody was dying of the cold. Unless you mean starvation? But almost nobody was dying of tha either.

>>16197264
>put up $$$$ for Green Energy companies
>Green Energy company accepts the $$$$
This is surprising because..? The only shocking thing here is that Tesla actually makes the items they were promising. Most of these companies just pocket (“spend”) the money and then go out of business

>>16197287
Deaths due to cold weather and dying from cold are not the same thing.
A fatal car crash due to ice on the road is a death caused by cold weather, but is not a death cause by coldness.

>>16197616
>but is not a death cause by coldness.
yes it is, coldness caused the road to freeze

>>16197244
no way

>>16172487
Did anybody read the article?
>jewish writer wants to downplay the harmfulness of jewish sexual abuse
>gets told no
>HOW DARE YOU GOYIM, LE WOKISM HAS GONE TOO FAR
many such cases

>>16199138
When have you ever heard about one of them being arrested or convicted of anything?

>>16199165
Has the ADL moved in to shut them down yet?

>>16189130

>>16199769
They get arrested when they're caught acting as double agents for other countries

>>16202105
except when the other country is israel

>>16197287

>>16173595
It started around 2000 or so, a much younger me had a subscription back in the days when you got these things called "magazines" in your mailbox every month, so I got to see it in real time.
They quickly went what we today would call "woke" on climate shit. I saw an interview of the editor (or whoever the guy in charge was) on Charlie Rose (remember him?) on PBS a few years later where he admitted it.
I would not be surprised if it has been getting continually shittier since then.

>>16183415
i figured that this was the case.
i was going to look this up but glad you got there first.
here's your +1.

You need to read the Washington Post every day to function in D.C. soiciety.

>>16208075
how so?

>>16208447
Thats just how it is there, the Washington Post is their baseline for truth

>>16209181
sounds like some sort of extremely stupid religious cult

>>16172487
Thats a good article, the scientism cultist schizos will never read it because picrel

scientism is good
being sjw is bad

>>16190577
He keeps announcing "The Washington Post lost $100million last year" but somehow or other the publication never goes out of business even though it never turns a profit. Clearly he is lying, it turns a massive profit for him because he uses it as a lobbying tool, the profits just aren't credited to The Washington Post, they're credited to one of his other businesses.

>>16222825
He isn't the first to do it and he isn't even the last, you can look at X or that one site Dorsey made. Don't even remember what it is called. This is standard MO.

>>16213255
elaborate pls

>>16223968

>>16172487
>Science journalism surrenders to progressive ideology.
that happened over 50 years ago

>>16196468
>A warmer, wetter world is better for humanity anyway
Too bad CO2 doesn't cause global warming

>>16227934
wait what

>>16229166
CO2 plainly doesn't cause global warming, if it did then the weather would have changed by now

>>16230589
this
there is no evidence that co2 cause "muh greenhouse effect" and theres lots of evidence that it doesn't

>>16231724

>>16232958
Water vapor accounts for far, far more than 95% if the greenhouse effect on Earth. 100% is a much more accurate figure than 95% is.

>>16234010
THE GOYIM KNOW SHUT IT DOWN

>>16190577
He just gets a different kind of advertising revenue.
$50 billion dollar military contracts for Amazon, more gigabit contracts and subsidies for Blue Origin.

>>16172497
Retarded. Money is just a means to an end for them. They create it out of nothing.
