New Scientist becomes the NonScientist

News on the new Non Scientist – Updated: now with bullying 15 12 2009 Jo Nova has launched a new publication, inspired today by their latest article. Read on. You might think journalists at a popular science magazine would be able to investigate and reason. In DenierGate, watch New Scientist closely, as they do the unthinkable and try to defend gross scientific malpractice by saying it’s OK because other people did other things a little bit wrong, that were not related, and a long time ago. Move along ladies and gentlemen, there’s nothing to see… The big problem for this formerly good publication is that they have decided already what the answer is to any question on climate-change (and the answer could be warm or cold but it’s always ALARMING). That leaves them clutching for sand-bags to prop up their position as the king-tide sweeps  away any journalistic credibility they might have had. I’ve added my own helpful notes into the New Scientist article, just so you get the full picture. Read the whole story at Jo Nova’s website, and tell her I sent you. UPDATE: More bullying from scientists Go to Watts Up With That? for the rest
