Adopt a Denier in 2010

21 Dec

Interesting idea from Wallace J Nichols:

If the denial of science weren’t so dangerous, we could leave the topic to Jon Stewart to dissect on the Daily Show. But it is dangerous.

Make it your New Year resolution to quietly and kindly adopt a denier. Over time, explain how science works, share peer reviewed articles, go see films, have long conversations over coffee or beer afterwards. The idea isn’t to “win” an argument, it’s to answer questions and remove the fear or misunderstanding that surrounds advances in scientific understanding of ourselves and our planet.

In a way, that’s what I’m trying to do with this blog.
