Ending the Injustice of Information Assymetry
Carbon and biodiversity markets enjoy broad support within the scientific and environmental communities, but a small gaggle of outliers has convinced a critical mass of reporters that the opposite is true.
They’ve achieved this by stealing a page from the science-denier handbook to turn the process of honest inquiry against itself.
The result is a decades-old a gap between those engaged in legitimate debate and those engaged in public discourse.
Four groups have exacerbated this gap:
- Opportunists eager to exploit information asymmetries for their own benefit.
- Ideologues who repeatedly circumvent the larger body of experts to push their “research” to compliant media.
- Media more interested in garnering clicks than in spreading awareness.
- Proponents who counter pseudo-scientific disinformation with simplistic responses that fail to address legitimate challenges.
Bionic Planet aims to close the gap by mainstreaming the legitimate debate and supporting fact-based knowledge-sharing in developing countries.
