Climate: to end myths
The renowned New Scientist magazine devotes a number to set the record straight
The sun is responsible for climate change.
Scientists were talking about global cooling in the 1970 years.
A higher level of CO2 will increase food production.
These are some of the reservations or arguments sometimes made in the context of climate change discussions. The New Scientist therefore thought it best to focus on 26 "myths or false perceptions" specific to an eminently complex issue.
The British magazine's dossier, one of the references in popular science, is freely available on the internet. Here is an excerpt from the special issue of New Scientist:
"The truth is the first victim of the war. As the political struggle over climate change goes up a notch, a propaganda campaign goes with it. On the one hand, environmental activists sometimes exaggerate the potential consequences of climate change. On the other hand, skeptics take ownership of anything that might suggest that climate change does not exist, is not due to anthropogenic emissions, or will not be a problem. "
The myths surrounding climate change are sometimes picked up by the American media, which is rarely the case in the Quebec media coverage. Nevertheless, the New Scientist file remains a rigorous and easy to consult tool.
