Climate change might not have been the best example as its a closed and shut case from a scientific perspective. Maybe the merits of doing anything about it would be a better example?
- ams6110 9y ago"Closed and shut" seems to me to be exactly NOT the point of view of science. If someone came along with another theory that fit observations better than current theories do, would you want science to reject it because that particular subject is considered "closed and shut?"
- SimbaOnSteroids 9y agoYou knew what I meant as well as would anyone else that reads HN, no need to be pedantic.
- tqi 9y agoActually I chose that specifically because I think that it is a "closed and shut case". Yet many right leaning outlets like Fox News or National Review routinely cast doubt on this. Do you think they should be considered Fake News? Who gets to make that call?
- mrguyorama 9y ago"Fake News"ness can have article level granularity. Fox can have perfectly accurate reporting of an event, and then still be considered fake when they incorrectly state that there is "controversy" over global warming
