Talk:21st Century Science and Technology

21st Century Science & Technology is a quarterly magazine published by 21st Century Science Associates, which is affiliated with the political movement of Lyndon LaRouche. It has the unusual purpose of being "dedicated to the promotion of unending scientific progress, all directed to serve the proper common aims of mankind." The magazine is the successor to Fusion magazine, published by the Fusion Energy Foundation from 1977 to 1987, with a circulation of 200,000.

21st Century Science & Technology is not for those who agree with so-called "popular opinion." It covers nuclear fission, fusion, maglev, space travel, and other advanced technologies, and has many historical articles and translations of important classical works. Some of its most widely read articles are on climate science, featuring scientists such as Zbigniew Jaworowski and Nils Axel Morner. Other controversial topics are its promotion of DDT for indoor house spraying to stop the spread of malaria, its debunking of the Linear No-Threshold dogma that holds that any amount of radiation is "bad," its promotion of population growth and development, and its articles on the medical effects of marijuana on the brain.

The magazine has been electronic-only since 2006. "

I presume this is how you want the article to read? Why should we change it? P-Foster Talk "Watched Mad Men thinking it was supposed to be a sit-com. Found it disappointing." 22:13, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Promotion of Nuclear Energy is a "crank view?"

"The magazine mainly serves as an outlet for LaRouche's crank views on science, which tend toward promotion of nuclear energy..."

This seems to be lumping his nuclear advocacy in with " denialism of global warming, space-based weaponry, and a lot of quirky and odd science woo," even if it's unintentional. Nuclear energy is very much not woo or denialism. It's far safer than its opponents claim, and what drawbacks it does have, from used fuel to the already-low risk of accidents, can be mitigated or eliminated by technologies that have already been demonstrated. If anything, it should be mentioned in the "stopped clock" portion along with high-speed rail. The One They Call Mars 07:04, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

You're absolutely right — we're actually very much against the crankery of the anti-nuclear movement. Fixed the article. Thanks! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 13:56, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
