The Guardian's inconsistent comments policy
|
|
|
21 feb 15 |
It allows commenters to challenge neo-Lysenkoism using evolutionary psychology - up to a point. But when I tried to correct my own comment - from "it is adaptive for a man to be attracted to her" to "it is adaptive for her for him to be attracted to her, because he is more likely to believe his children are his" (if she appears uninterested in sex, thus appears less likely to be unfaithful), a mode

Students protest against a falsely accused fraternity at the University of Virginia
The reader is no doubt familiar with C.P. Snow's famous 1959 lecture about the "two cultures" - roughly, arts and sciences: http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/students/envs_5110/snow_1959.pdf
I remember it well, being a precocious five-year-old at the time.
At arty cocktail parties, Snow would ask guests i

A comment censored on joannenova.com.au

joannenova.com.au is my favorite climate skeptic site. Jo Nova is a science educator, and explains better than anyone why the global warming panic is completely fraudulent. She objects to the term "climate change denier" because it's obviously an attempt by the fraudsters to undermine their critics, not by scientific reasoning, but by associating them with "holocaust deniers". I disagree with that

Climate scientists have discovered that "solar variability sometimes plays a significant role in climate change".
Their finding that the Little Ice Age of the 15th to 19th centuries was global means that the warming of the last century could be mostly the effect of coming out of that mini-
