Climate Change

What are some false or misleading claims regarding the impact of raising the retirement age on economic growth, women, and the environment, which have been highlighted by the recent unrest in France opposing pension reforms? Does increasing the retirement age necessarily reduce life expectancy, and do funded pensions always contribute to polluting projects?

Demanding impossible levels of certainty before acting on climate change is a dangerous and misleading manipulation technique. We must acknowledge the limitations of science while also recognizing the urgency of the situation and the potential risks of inaction.

Science denial is a growing problem in today’s society, with many people rejecting scientific evidence and expertise in favor of their own opinions or beliefs. One common tactic used by science deniers is the “fake experts fallacy,” which involves citing large numbers of seeming experts to argue that there is no scientific consensus on a topic.

Disinformation used as a weapon to fight renewable energy and stop solar projects is not a new strategy. This is the case of an activist group called Citizens for Responsible Solar, which was found to be spreading misinformation to stop solar projects in rural America.

Science fraud has become a growing concern in the scientific community, as it threatens the reliability and credibility of research findings. While most scientists strive to produce unbiased and accurate results, there are cases of deliberate fabrication of data, plagiarism, and other unethical practices.
