Friends of Gin and Tonic: Drunk on Science and Satire

โ€œDenierโ€ Site Best New Addition to theย Web

Run on over to Friends of Gin and Tonic, a website being run by a Calgary-based centre dedicated to โ€œSelf Interest and Climate Changeย Denial.โ€

FOGT is a quirky mixture of satire and science. Itโ€™s a highly entertaining send-up of the Friends of Science (an organization that is silly enough to require very little satirizing), but itโ€™s also a wonderful fact-checking site that is clearly being run by people who are solid on theย science.

Unlike FOS material, the FOGT references are actually current, correct and represent that best science available today. The high-quality analysis – especially the debunking of denier material – can get confusing as writers flip sometimes too quickly between send-up and science. But it anyone who had NOT been dipping into the gin – or paying too much attention to the Tim Ball brigade is sure to be able to sort it all out. And regardless, itโ€™s well worth the ride. Very funny and very well-informed.
