Random global warming nuttiness

EXCERPT:

Published by Briggs at 6:02 pm under Global warming

Many people have been sending me various tidbits about rampant global warming insanity, but it’s taking me a long time to get round to posting them. This darn book of mine….it never wants to be done!

So here are just some quick links for you to mull on.

The Who’s-Nuttier-Than-A-Psychologist? Department

Walking outside rather than inside—even for just 15 minutes—makes you feel happier, more energetic and more protective of the environment. So says psychologists at a recent APA meeting. How do you design a “study” to test environmental protectiveness intensity? With an instrument of course. “Instruments” are the learned name for “questionnaires.”

It’s not that I dispute the “finding” that walking outside is good for you. It’s just that it’s yet another in an endless line of unnecessary useless “studies” done either for the sole purpose of generating papers, or because the “researchers” just aren’t that bright. See the link for more studies of similar intensity and validity.
