Good Science and Bad Science

Good Science (hopefully!)
The New Scientist has a good little article on upcoming exciting clean tech - definitely worth a read http://bit.ly/1sWazj

There are so many interesting bits of tech there, and it will be interesting to see how they develop. "Peen-n-Grow" was completely new to me, but I've heard about most of the others along the way. We will have to see how many of them we can get into the game as policy decisions :)

Bad Science
Well actually a nod to the ever excellent Ben Goldacre and his awesome Bad Science blog where he investigates people's misuse of science.

All of his articles are good to read, and it should be pointed out that he is always quick to issue a correction when he makes a mistake (as we all do from time to time), but the article I wanted to post about was this one: http://www.badscience.net/2009/09/house-of-numbers/.

The article has nothing to do with our favourite science subject, climate change, but it is all about the attempts of AIDS denialists to blame the horrible virus on the poor, on the treatments, on everything except the actual virus itself. I won't repeat what he said here - but do check it and the other awesome pieces out.

Even though the focus is on climate change with Climate Challenge 2010, we are including pandemics in the game in some form - though hopefully in more detail with future releases.
