592: Taser Taser Taser!
Matthew Therrell, Forbes Global Cooling, and Media Literacy
A local CBS affiliate interviewed Dr. Matthew Therrell to debunk a Forbes article suggesting the Earth is entering a period of global cooling. Therrell dismisses the Forbes piece as a non-reputable "op-ed" and tells his students to ignore such sources. The hosts criticize this as a "shout down" tactic used to discredit dissenting scientific views on climate.
