It is important for scientists to communicate to the public. Most of us, including me, are not good at this. In the United States, there are real problems with people believing all kinds of stuff that is just not true; not believing in Evolution, Climate-related science, etc. The last few months scientists and good amateur scientists have not been reading the posts that I know of, and from the couple I have read (I'm not reading the vast majority), there is a lot of garbage being posted. It is not being challenged. It is kind of pointless to challenge some of this.

So Earthwaves has become a source of misinformation. Maybe it is time it was shut down. Alternatively, Richter needs his login revoked, and we need to look at what Duffy is posting.
