It hadn't occurred to me just how bad the impact of the Internet might
be on teachers. With so many sites peddling misinformation, spin and
outright lies, you'd need a full-time assistant for each teacher and
even then they might not keep up. I reckon after being asked the same
misleading question by some arrogant adolescent for the umpteenth time,
I'd end up in gaol for committing terminal discipline.

The Conversation has a coterie of climate science warriors; nothing
surprising there. What does surprise me is the nuclear power advocacy.
My guess is that Australia is seen as a market ripe for exploitation.
Both groups have a habit of loading their posts with links, but there's
really no way of knowing the credibility of the sites involved.
Are there reliable lists of such things; sites listing sites and their
credentials?
