Higher levels of knowledge about the causes of climate change were related to a heightened concern. However, higher levels of knowledge about the physical characteristics of climate change had either a negative or no significant effect on concern. Efforts aimed at improving public knowledge about climate change are therefore not the lost cause that some researchers claim they may be.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dai dati del satellite Cryosat-2, all’Alfred Wegener Institute<\/a> calcolano che il volume della banchisa artica \u00e8 ridotto come nel 2010, altri dati e mappe da neven1<\/a>. Dice che in\u00a0dicembre la temperatura media sull’Artico era di 0\u00b0 C, chiss\u00e0 come lo spiegano i globalcoolisti secondo i quali l’aumento della temperatura \u00e8 dovuto all’attivit\u00e0 solare (in caldo da decenni, of course).<\/p>\n

Nel 2014 per risparmiare sulle spese Rick Snyder, il governatore repubblicano<\/a> del Michigan, aveva fatto arrivare a Flint acqua tossica <\/a><\/strong>e ordinato ai responsabili del\u00a0Michigan Department of Environmental Quality\u00a0di truccare i dati per farla sembrare potabile – “abbiamo ubbidito agli ordini”, dicono <\/a><\/strong>a CNN.
\nGioved\u00ec scorso al Senato<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The Coates Amendment –<\/em> presentato dai Repubblicani, ndr – to the Energy and Water Agencies Appropriations Act failed by a vote of 48-49. All Senate Democrats, with the exception of Sen. Claire McCaskill (MO) voted against the amendment. Five Republicans Sens. Lisa Murkowski (AK), Bill Cassidy (LA), Rob Portman (OH), Lamar Alexander (TN) and Dean Heller (NV) joined with Democrats in voting against the amendment, but 47 Senate Republicans<\/strong> voted not to provide federal aid for children that were poisoned by the decisions of Michigan\u2019s Republican governor.

Sul Guardian<\/em>, continua la saga<\/a><\/strong> delle compagnie petrolifere, oggi tocca a Chevron, che pretendevano dalla UE l’inserimento della libert\u00e0 di inquinare nelle clausole del TTIP.

Overall, 3.8% – <\/em>di\u00a020.621 paper usciti in 40 riviste tra il 1995 e il 2014, ndr –\u00a0contained problematic figures, with at least half exhibiting features suggestive of deliberate manipulation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dal commento<\/a><\/strong> su Nature<\/em><\/p>\n

A small study of 120 cancer-biology papers in three journals, published last year, found that one-quarter contained duplicated figures \u2014 but only around 1 in 8 (13%) were the inappropriate kind that Bik’s team were hunting, notes Bik. She adds that she screened 427 papers in the same journals, and found the average problematic duplication rate to be 6.8%. \u00a0Still, both Bik and Pulverer – <\/em>direttore dell’EMBO Journal, ndr –\u00a0<\/i>think that their screens miss duplications because they would not detect well-executed fraud or duplications across different papers.<\/em> (…)
\nBik says that she has reported all the papers with duplicated images to journals, which has so far resulted in 62 corrections and 6 retractions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nel frattempo falsi dottori, ma veri cristiani,\u00a0praticano <\/a><\/strong>una costosa ciarlataneria\u00a0“pastorale”:<\/p>\n

The Texas-based\u00a0Pastoral Medical Association<\/a>\u00a0(1) gives out “pastoral provider licenses” in all 50 (US) states and 30 countries. Some providers call themselves doctors of pastoral medicine. But these licenses are not medical degrees. That has watchdog organizations concerned that some patients may not understand what this certification really means.<\/em><\/p>\n
