I agree tha...Good article and lots to think about.<br /><br />I agree that much of what's written in scholarly articles may as well be written in Lithuanian for all that I can understand it. But I recognize that my ignorance doesn't mean the science is bad, which seems to be the view of climate change deniers and anti-vax kooks.<br /><br />Better science education would help. The public school system I went to was supposed to be excellent, but when I speak to folks who went to private school, I"m always astonished by how much more they were taught.<br /><br />And it is a shame that we have to rely on a corporate and ignorant media to provide the only venue for public discussions of these issues. (Okay, now we have blogs, but I doubt they reach as many epople as do the networks or cable channels). Reporting on science tends to be simplistic to the point of being wrong.C.
