#désinformation, #science et #politique
d’après cette étude
– si on est de gauche, plus on est éduqué plus on est sensible à l’info scientifique sur le climat
– de droite, plus on est éduqué plus on est sensible à la désinformation ; et ça, c’est nouveau
Here’s an interesting study by Lawrence Hamilton, published in Climatic Change in December: “Education, politics and opinions about climate change evidence for interaction effects“. He finds that whereas in the past, education level strongly correlated with concern for environmental issues, this correlation has now gone away because of a new interaction effect with political beliefs.

Ideological predispositions can affect how people process #information. The #Internet and #cable #television news make it easier for us not only to process information selectively ourselves, but to selectively acquire information that has been processed already, when we only tune in to ideologically compatible Web sites, cable news shows and so forth. The bias or selectivity of our sources can be higher than the newspapers, magazines or broadcast news that formerly supplied most current-events information.

#Google prédit le présent (c-à-d évalue des trucs en temps réel) avec une précision assez satisfaisante ; on avait entendu parler de la surveillance de la #grippe, ici c’est la consommation intérieure US :
Check out these papers in PDF form: Predicting the Present, or Do Google Searches Help in Nowcasting...?
How predictable is the present using these algorithms? Here is one example (from the paper above) of Google’s nowcasting of private consumption growth rates compared to actual rates over a three year period. Googles nowcast is gray; the actual black.
