As noted last Friday, The Dake Page has recently begun a weekly series exposing climate denialism. This week the site takes a look at how you, the interested and informed citizen, can “separate the actual science from the pseudoscience, or worse, the crock.”
One way is to employ what professional skeptic Michael Shermer calls the “Baloney Detection Kit.” In the video that follows, Shermer lays out ten questions everyone should ask themselves as they evaluate various claims.
After you watch the video, go here to finish reading how these apply to man-made climate change.The Dake Page publishes a new post every Thursday morning. You can read archived articles here. Links to The Dake Page will be periodically posted on this Science Traveler site for those who are interested.
