Story of the week
Thanks to John Mason having the stamina to sit down to watch 'Climate - the Movie' and jotting down several pages worth of notes on Friday morning, we were able to quickly put together a blog post debunking the many false and misleading claims made in the film. The first 42-odd minutes of this 80 minute long festival of misinformation are dedicated to 'The Science'. But instead of that, what one is exposed to is a veritable Gish-gallop of climate myths, with the phrase, 'we are told' liberally scattered among them. In addition to a list of the 25 myths identified by John, we also checked them off on our myth rebuttal chart, available for occasions like this. It makes for a neat sharable graphic driving home the point of how much is wrong with the item debunked.

Co-designing the Cranky Uncle Vaccine game in East Africa

This is a re-post of John Cook's article first published on his Cranky Uncle website. Even though it's not climate-related we are reposting it on Skeptical Science as it's an example of how the game evolved and how it gets put to good use in a different context.

Cranky Uncle game now being translated

Cranky Uncle game now being translated
Posted on 23 July 2021 by John Cook
The Cranky Uncle game is now being translated into multiple languages, paving the way to building public resilience against misinformation across the world. So far, we have had volunteers offer to help translate the game into Danish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, and Ukrainian. But we are always looking for more volunteers both for additional languages and for extra helpers on current languages (it's a big game with a lot of content - many hands make light work).
The game's content is all entered in a content management system and on April 22 (coincidentally, Earth Day), a new upgrade of the content management system contained a killer new feature - internationalisation (e.g., translations). This was perfect timing for us as we had already been moving towards development of the multi-language version of the game - this upgrade paved the way for a much quicker roll-out.

Talks and Presentations
1 April 2021: Skeptical Inquirer - Gaming against Misinformation
John Cook gave a webinar for the Skeptical Inquirer about using gamification and cartoons to overcome some of the psychological hurdles facing scientists and educators as they respond to misinformation. Learn about a number of psychological challenges which hinder the countering of misinformation and science denial and how gamification offers a unique opportunity to convert effortful critical thinking tasks into quicker, easier heuristics. In this presentation, John Cook outlines how he applied psychological and critical thinking research into inoculation and how his Cranky Uncle game can help with the task.
