Climate change and cultural cognition

[Underseer]

Interesting video on why people reject established science on the climate change issue.



The general opinion among scientists is that the public rejects settled science because of their lack of understanding of science and the evidence for anthropogenic climate change. This video reports on research which suggests otherwise, that people mostly assess risk on this issue based on the opinions of their peers.

Yay, he finally has another video out!

He is about my favorite youtuber for rational discussion. Will watch this later.

His video on artificial sweeteners is very good. IIRC, he said that splenda was probably the safest along with saccharine. He said Acesulfame Potassium was sketchy and may produce an insulin response. For me diet drinks with it make me feel like crap.
