Natural Science Forum / Physics / General Physics / July 2008Latest Statistics Reveal 'Science' Journalists Totally Bored by "Global Warming" Topic
Dear Fellow 'Science' Journalists, Newly breaking bad news may threaten your livelihood and your sanity. Statistics reveal there has been a precipitous drop in 'science' journalism publications on the topic of "global warming". Google now offers statistical analysis of topic trends, including histograms. Please plug: http://news.google.ca/archivesearch?hl=en&tab=gn&ned=ca&scoring=n&ie=UTF-8&as_dr rb=q&as_qdr=m&as_mind=13&as_minm=6&as_maxd=13&as_maxm=7&q=%22global+warming%22 into your browser and play with the interactive histogram. Please note the >50% decline for 2008 and the month by month decline in "global warming" publications throughout the beginning of 2008. Applying straightforward linear extrapolation to the 2008 trend, using a straight edge, predicts that by October 2008, there will be ZERO publications written by 'science' journalists on the topic of "global warming". [If you are a 'science' journalist who has written on the topic of "global warming", please take any criticism of such straightforward linear extrapolation, using a straight edge, back to an institute of higher learning where it belongs. It does not belong here.] Here are the Google numbers for the last available15 months statistics. Read them and weep. 8,400 - Jan. 2007 8,980 - Feb. 2007 8,560 - Mar. 2007 10,300 - Apr. 2007 8,280 - May, 2007 8,340 -Jun. 2007 8,400 - Jul. 2007 6,290 - Aug. 2007 7,120 - Sep. 2007 7,220 - Oct. 2007 7,610 - Nov. 2007 9,510 - Dec. 2007 7,110 - Jan. 2008 5,750 - Feb. 2008 3,750 - Mar. 2008 Note that the number of publications in Mar. 2008 is only 36.4% of the number of 'science' journalism publications on "global warming" published in Apr. 2007. Mathematically, there is as much certainty in the prediction of "global warming" as there is in a linear extrapolation prediction that there will be ZERO "global warming" publications written by 'science" journalists by October 2008. This may imply a kind of 'global cooling" in the diminishing 'profession' of 'science' journalism. Maybe we should all look for new professions.

A dictionary to learn how to write "offfer" and a pound of intelligence would be indicated as well. Oh, a wise guy, nyuk nyuk nyuk.

I seem to have struck a raw nerve with this tread. Google Scholar catalogs scholarly publications as opposed to mere 'science' journalism, cataloged and histogramed by Google. Unfortunately, Google Scholar does not give the month by month publication statistics. Neverless the statistics that can be pulled out of Goggle Scholar also show a steep decline in publication numbers for 2008. Searching year by year for scholarly publications with the phrase "global warming" anywhere in the scholarly article: 7,460 - 2000 8,810 - 2001 9,950 - 2002 11,300 - 2003 11,300 - 2004 12,900 - 2005 13,600 - 2006 15,200 - 2007 5,990 - 2008 This year, 2008 is more than half finished. If 2008 were to continue the trend of 2007, there should be more than 7,600 publication catloged by Google scholar. 5,990 scholarly publications discussing "global warming" in 2008, represents a decine of 21.2%. Based on that decline, one could predict ZERO scholarly publications including the phase "global warming" in less than five years. Massive unemployment will harm us all.

Maybe we should all look for new professions. That may be a very wise idea. In fact, as the economomy continues to fail, there will be an increasing market for used cars. Why not consider selling used cars as your future vocation. > Please retain Newsgroups: and Cc: in any followup. No, you posted to sci.physics and I reduced your followups to include only sci.physics. It is rude to crosspost to multiple newsgroups. Harry C. |
