Liberal bias at the university level and the consequences - financial and other - of not falling in lock-step with those who see themselves as 'progressives'.

Duarte et al show how liberal language and preoccupations have uncritically entered into the theoretical formulations and methods developed by some social psychologists that renders such research methodologically flawed. They also challenge studies which have sought to characterise conservative thinkers as more rigid in their thinking, arguing there is also evidence showing the opposite may be true and it is liberals who are prone to rigid and biased thinking.

I do think we need to consider environmental effects more like noise on top of climate as a signal than as an entity unto itself alone. Can we do better? almost certainly. Can anything we do fix it all? Extremely doubtful, short of causing a human-extinction-level event where it wouldn't matter to us anyway.
