[APWG] APWG Digest, Vol 69, Issue 7, devouring

Wed Jun 10 12:34:44 CDT 2009

Hi, WT and all, I agree that we need to check sources. However, it is useful
to understand the public impression of invasives control. It would actually
be very useful to target some key sources of public outreach with info on
valid control techniques specific to their area, sort of an applied ecology
approach. This can be a bit dangerous since people tend to overreact, but
nonetheless, some towns are considering ordinances and in order for them to
be passed, the public needs some way to gage which type of control methods
will work or not work.

PC:

Newspaper accounts, especially those without links to their sources, are 
often misleading. Reporters accept any published research as valid. It ain't

necessarily so.

Providing FILES (not just links, as these require big-buck expenditures to 
download) of the original research in its entirety is essential to get at 
the validity of the research. Some people actually do rely on news articles,

and can then spend a lot of time, effort, and money going off half-cocked on

something invalid.

PS: What green plant doesn't "devour" CO2?
