The sea is a dark and often mysterious place, and it’s no wonder that the fear and fascination with the marine world has led to more than a few inaccurate claims. The crew over at Southern Fried Science have decided that this week is all about busting pseudoscience and the myths that surround our ocean…
Anlässlich des Tages des Artenschutzes verweist der NABU auf die zunehmende Wilderei in afrikanischen Nationalparks. Täglich töten Wilderer etwa 100 Elefanten. In den siebziger Jahren gab es auf dem Kontinent noch 1,2 Millionen Elefanten, heute sind es weniger als 440.000.
Climate denier language added to a Nebraska bill may force scientists to neglect the role humans play in a state-commissioned study. That’s because the bill that created the study limits its scope to a cyclical climate change in Nebraska.
Science transformed into ideology:
“If it’s only natural (causes), but not human, we would not be interested,” Martha Shulski, climatologist and director of the High Plains Regional Climate Center said.
Eh già, è proprio ideologia rifiutare di "fare ricerche" per ottenere un risultato deciso prima a tavolino.
Chissà che alla fine gli animalisti non si scarichino da internet il manuale del buon stabularista e seguano le stesse procedure dei laboratori di ricerca. Altrimenti li si potrebbe denunciare per maltrattamento degli animali? O fa troppo ridere?

Oh cmon, dont be silly, unless you only drink blood this doesnt add up.
Questo titolo merita un premio!
Qualcuno mandi articoli sul Fronte di liberazione dei nani da giardino e la minchiata del mese scorso please... che non ho voglia di cercarli, né di rileggerli :D
Sembra uno scherzo, eppure non lo è. Anni di convinzioni andate in fumo grazie ad uno studio condotto dall’Università del New South Wales, in Australia. I ricercatori hanno scoperto che i vegetariani, coloro che ritengono che mangiare carne non sia etico, in realtà uccidono più animali, in misura 25volte maggiore di quanto facciano gli onnivori.
Hahahahhaha, i bovini al pascolo! Bwahahahhahahaha! Si come no! Al pascolo dello zoo o di Disneyland? I 35 milioni di tonnellate di soja che importa l'Europa, senza ovviamente contare quella coltivata qua e tutti gli altri mangimi, si usano per i canarini immagino. 64M tonnellate di mais fra importazioni e produzione interna etcetc... tutte a fare polenta e popcorn scommetto. O parliamo della colza? Certo, tutti quelli che finora hanno fatto questi conti si sono sbagliati (ad es "In jedem Kilo Rindfleisch stecken 6,5 Kg Getreide, 36 Kg Raufutter und 155 Liter Wasser plus 15.300 Liter Wasser."), ma è arrivato il genio per fortuna.

Ora, vorrei chiedere alle associazioni dei vegcosi se pensano che una comunicazione del genere funzioni sul serio. Per me è peggio di quella della Ripa di Meana con la patonza yeti contro le pellicce. Quella faceva solo schifo. Questa fa anche incazzare e fa pensare i più che avete la zucca vuota. Non ho nulla contro di voi, nel senso che non seguo la vostra religione, e fino a che non venite a brucare l’erba della Mansion, va be’, chissene’, però… però vorrei capire. No, dico anche agli onnivori che fanno girare la pagina del no all’agnello pasquale, accoppare per scopi alimentari un animale adulto è meglio? Più accettabile moralmente? Perché solo l’agnello per un giorno all’anno? Vitelli, maialini da latte e galletti che schiattano tutti i giorni?
Questi non sono né vegetariani né animalisti (vorrei vedere infatti quanti condividono ste idiozie), sono semplicemente fessi che non sanno cosa fare, ma quando je viene un'ideona si fanno notare eccome.
01.10.2012 - Katerstimmung in der Forschung: Immer öfter sorgen spektakuläre Einzelergebnisse für Aufruhr, bevor sie reproduziert sind. Dagegen muss man was tun. Ein Vorschlag.
A violent fringe group with anarcho-primitivist views — its name roughly translates to “Individuals Tending to Savagery,” although “Tending to the Wild” might be more exact — ITS sees technology and civilization as essentially doomed and leading humanity to an ecological catastrophe. Technology should be destroyed; humans should revert to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle; and all of this, ITS says, is for our own good. Nanotechnology is a particular scourge: Self-replicating nanobots will one day escape from laboratories to consume the Earth; and weaponization of nanotech is inevitable.

An online video of a hawk grabbing a baby that was revealed to be a hoax could be behind an increase in bird shootings, one wildlife rehabilitation expert says.
The Raptor Education Group, a wildlife rehabilitation center near Antigo, has taken in four hawks and two bald eagles since the video was released, Executive Director Marge Gibson said. Six birds, all of which were shot, are at least twice as many as the center usually gets in one month, she said….
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has received similar reports from around the Midwest and the country, said Carlita Payne, an animal recovery specialist with the Great Lakes region of the Service’s endangered species program.
She was unable to provide specific numbers but estimated that shootings of bald and golden eagles have risen about 25 percent in the month since the video came out, including one incident with a group of eagles in northeastern Washington state.
Four bald eagles were found dead in a lake on Jan. 9 in Snohomish County, Washington, Payne said. The birds were killed with a small-caliber rifle, and officials believe they had been perched in a tree when they were shot.
Killing endangered and threatened animals is a federal and state crime in Wisconsin. People who violate the law unintentionally could be fined up to $2,000 and have hunting privileges revoked for one year. People who violate the law intentionally could be fined between $2,000 and $5,000, go to prison for up to nine months and have all hunting privileges revoked for three years, according to state statute.
Federal offenders face even tougher punishments, which include fines of up to $10,000 for civil penalties and fines of up to $250,000 for felony convictions under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

All of which have been discussed here on STOP, I believe, at one time or another. It is most excellent to see this article which dishes the dirt on all of this. This is a good post to note for future reference because when you’re tracking down who’s behind denials - 75% of the time they’ll map back to one of these.
I think FOX NEWS is included amongst the worst denial machines.
Blitz nella notte di alcuni militanti dell’associazione ‘Centopercentoanimalisti’, che hanno affisso manifesti di liberazione animale e uno striscione sulla sede della Lego spa a Lainate (Milano). La nota casa dei mattoncini colorati è sotto accusa per le costruzioni che riproducono il circo e lo zoo: “Ci chiediamo come un nome prestigioso come la Lego possa aver partorito l’idea di produrre costruzioni diseducative di questo livello - è scritto sul forum dell’associazione - I bambini penseranno che sia ‘naturale’ per gli animali essere strappati alla loro natura per finire detenuti in uno zoo, i bambini penseranno che sia ‘normale vedere animali rinchiusi nelle gabbie e costretti con la violenza a esibirsi davanti a un pubblico. Chiediamo alla Lego che faccia un passo indietro, si renda conto dell’enorme danno che fa agli animali e ritiri dal mercato le confezioni aberranti” (via Foto Blitz animalista contro la Lego “Ora basta con il circo e lo zoo” - 1 di 7 - Milano - Repubblica.it)
Si renderanno conto di essere ridicoli, sì?
eh ma son problemi, tutti quei poveri leoni di plastica strappati alle leonesse di plastica.
Le ossessioni rendono non solo ridicoli, ma anche molto pericolosi chi le ha. Idioti. Ma talvolta son più pericolosi gli idioti, per una comunità, che i delinquenti.
The Stanford study was not only an exercise in misdirection, it was a headline generator. By providing “useful” and “counterintuitive” information about organic food, it played right into the hands of the news hungry while conveniently obscuring important features of organic agriculture. If I may play with metaphor for a moment, the study was like declaring guns no more dangerous than baseball bats when it comes to blunt-object head injuries.

Well put!

Agricultural Robots Can Tell The Difference Between Plants and Weeds, Can Thin Crops
Lettuce Bot uses a camera to image the plants beneath it. Machine learning algorithms then identify which ones are desirable and which are weeds. It can work with iceberg and romaine lettuces.
Once a plant is identified as a weed, a target spray, which is mounted behind the camera, will then shoot a targeted spray of an organic compound, such as hot steam or hot organic oil, at the plant and the plant will quickly die,” the company told Startup Lab.
The plant-classification algorithm is 98 to 99 percent accurate, and the kill mechanism is accurate to a quarter of an inch when the prototype is moving a 1 mph. The firm wants it to move at 3 mph while keeping it on target. Blue River says its machines will be more efficient than other means of weed-killing, and will work well in organic fields or those that have chemical-resistant weeds.

Lettuce Bot would eliminate jobs, lower chemical pesticide use, and increase production.
Già me li vedo allo stadio, i tecnofobi: "Ovvove ovvove le macchine!" ed i tecnolatri: "Ovvove ovvove, meno pesticidi!"... ma di essere entrambi obsoleti non se ne sono ancora resi conto...
