“Mockery of science”: Climate scientists tear into new US climate report

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-16 01:14:42

More than 85 climate scientists declared the Department of Energy’s new climate report unfit for policymaking in a comprehensive review released Tuesday. The DOE’s report cherry-picked evidence, lacked peer-reviewed studies to support its questioning of the detrimental effects of climate change in the US and is “fundamentally incorrect,” the authors concluded. Scientists have accurately modeled and predicted the volume and impact of excess CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere since the 1970s, when Exx

Many media executives are betting the future of the industry on artificial intelligence, going as far as replacing journalists in an effort to keep costs down and cash in on the hype. The result of these efforts so far has left a lot to be desired. We've come across countless examples of publications inadvertently publishing garbled AI slop, infuriating readers and journalists alike. AI's persistent hallucinations are already infecting large swathes of our online lives, from Google's hilarious

How Scientific Empires End

news.ycombinator.com Ross Andersen 2025-12-16 06:47:15

Roald Sagdeev has already watched one scientific empire rot from the inside. When Sagdeev began his career, in 1955, science in the Soviet Union was nearing its apex. At the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow, he studied the thermonuclear reactions that occur inside of stars. A few lab tables away, Andrei Sakharov was developing the hydrogen bomb. The Soviet space program would soon astonish the world by lofting the first satellite, and then the first human being, into orbit. Sagdeev can still rememb

Writing is thinking

Writing scientific articles is an integral part of the scientific method and common practice to communicate research findings. However, writing is not only about reporting results; it also provides a tool to uncover new thoughts and ideas. Writing compels us to think — not in the chaotic, non-linear way our minds typically wander, but in a structured, intentional manner. By writing it down, we can sort years of research, data and analysis into an actual story, thereby identifying our main messag

Elon Musk Humiliated by Top Scientific Organization

While leading the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, billionaire Elon Musk oversaw massive spending cuts that have rattled the scientific community to its core. He stood unblinkingly by the side of president Donald Trump, a climate change denier who has been carrying out a ruthlessly anti-science agenda after championing environmentalism for years. And while the unlikely pair no longer see eye to eye following a chaotic falling out, the damage has already been done. Musk has been e
