TheESP – Ep. #453 – Who trusts science?

It’s one election after another. The same day that the US voted orange, Germany decided on a snap election after the current coalition fell apart. Let’s hope people over here are better informed than the American voters. In TWISH we hear about ‘Doctor Universalis’ Albertus Magnus whose scientific mindset in the 13th century helped Europe begin its long and winding road out of the dark ages. Then we explore the news:

• ONLINE: ‘Akusoli’ is a typical example of woowoo products that are aggressively marketed online
• UK: Assisted dying bill’s ‘strict’ safeguards to include long jail terms for coercion
• SWEDEN: Warning regarding fake medicine online
• GERMANY: Who trusts science and who doesn’t?
• UK: The Archbishop of Canterbury resigns over Church abuse scandal

The Really Wrong Award is split between oil producer Shell and a Dutch court of appeals that overturned Shell’s requirement to reduce their emission goals.

Enjoy!
