Research on climate and nuclear switched me to pro-nuclear after decades of being anti.

I have never been anti-nuclear, but
#Fukushima made me deal much more closely with the topic and made me a definite pro – and a founder of@Nuklearia, Germany's coolest pro-nuclear association!

GMO will never be a simple topic. Drought tolerance - good. Enhanced nutrient content - cool. Pesticide resistance to permit blanket spraying? Built-in sterility to support commercialisation? The benefits should not be used to characterise legit concerns as anti-science

Yes the idea of eating engineered proteins gets a bad rep and is really something of a red herring. Regulation is essential - a potential difficulty is the huge drivers at work to get products to market. Neonicotinoids spring to mind.

I think there is big crossover between two groups: - those who are persuaded by scientific facts - those who take time to research a subject for themselves So I think a lot of them actually persuade themselves. :)

People say the Information Deficit model is not much use, but I believe simply providing a good info resource works very well on those people.

Ya. A lot of people react very nicely to figures and graphs. They just tend to be the people I communicate with a lot (and especially online). What about everyone else?

The directly observed success of science is the reason I advocate its use. If something else worked better, I would advocate something else.

They may not be convinced right away but reason and facts endure longer than passion, so they're very capable of persuading with time

I didn’t like Brussels Sprouts as a kid. I can now admit i was wrong.

What scientifically facts definitively demonstrate the safety of GMOs?!? Most studies are sponsored by Monsanto (hence, huge conflict of interest), and many GMO strategies involve using more pesticides on crops, while inserting genes for pesticide resistance in crop!

Mark Lynas has absolutely no body of work to show on his so-called anti-gmo stance. Where is his writing from that era? Utterly made up story

Research suggests in UK 54% of people are feelins-driven to a greater or lesser extent and 46% analytically driven. Vast gender difference.

I changed my mind on global climate change in the past decade as more evidence came out, and I became more honest with my resistance to the idea of climate change.

But those who go into industries like nuclear are overwhelmingly T rather than F so broadly do not get the majority of the population and get angry that they are not analytical like themselves.

@sapinker I’ve been struggling to get an answer - read a few books but nothing really explains what happens to people while voting. Why don’t they see logic and why can’t we get people to look beyond the left and right? Even educated people.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It's not that no one is ever convinced, but that it isn't enough people. You can't rely on persuasion with logic in politics.
