Feedback, glorious feedback
Mark Honeychurch - 13th April 2026
It’s always good when we get feedback to this newsletter, and it doesn’t even have to be positive! Unlike many groups, we’re the kind of organisation that relishes constructive criticism and correction - and so this week’s first three articles are great to have received. Firstly Mike Joy has taken the time to expand on the concerns he had about an area of climate change and fossil fuel dependence that he thought we haven’t covered very well in the past. Patrick Medlicott has responded to Mike’s concerns, agreeing with him that renewable energy sources aren’t currently replacing fossil fuels - they’re just being added on top of fossil fuel use. On a tangentially related topic, Tyler has written about Katrina’s treatment of microplastics, arguing that although we don’t yet know if microplastics are a problem, it may be prudent to treat them as if they are.
After this trio of feedback, Katrina has tried to figure out if there’s any truth in some headlines she’s seen recently claiming that NASA may have found evidence of alien technology. Bronwyn has looked into Sir Edmund Hillary, the Yeti Hunter, in an article that I really, really enjoyed reading and can’t wait to talk about on our podcast. Dan Ryan has written a follow-up to his Falun Gong piece, looking into how the group uses coordinated online commenting to try to silence critics. And finally I’ve written about a recent TikTok trend that may be of interest to skeptics, “Scientology Runs”.
