'To Scintillate and Control'

Ishmael sent me a couple of climate related stories that he asked me to share with you.
How many tons of ice melted in Greenland in one day in July? A whole lot!
This story informs us that wildfires occur in northern latitudes and ice melts in summer, but with a lot of alarming language.
You don't really need to read the articles above, but they triggered Ishmael because one of his areas of expertise is water, and the Gell-Mann effect came into play. Most of us have one or more topics that we really know - and when we read about that topic in the media, we notice how poorly the press understands it. The real problem is Gell-Mann Amnesia - when we read stories on topics outside of our expertise, we forget how inaccurate the other story was!
