My guest is John Cook, a research fellow at Monash University, and a long time force in debunking climate myths. In 2007 he founded the website Skeptical Science, a resource site for responses to climate claims. In 2013, he published a paper on the extent of the scientific consensus on climate change that was hugely influential in how the issue was discussed in the political sphere. And most recently, and what we talk about at some length in this discussion, he was a co-author on a recently published paper that looked at using machine learning to identify and categorise various climate contrarian arguments.<br /><br />John Cook on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/johnfocook" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/johnfocook</a> <br />The paper on machine learning and climate contrarian arguments<br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-01714-4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-01714-4</a><br /><br />Support this channel! <a href="https://patreon.com/mallenbaker" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://patreon.com/mallenbaker</a><br /><br />The Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and politics.
