New Paper. Have you ever read a news story about #ClimateChange, where the journalist quotes one expert who represents the #Scientific consensus and one who dissents? Sometimes "balance" makes us dumber. This is not unique to climate change.

New @trip_irsurvey snap poll of IR experts -- Will the U.S. bomb Iran? Will this make the U.S. safer? What will Russia and China do? How will this impact public support for President Trump? Answers below. @rmpowers, @dandrezner, @CarnegieCorp

New TRIP survey: Most IR experts say U.S. military action in Iran will harm national security, provoke retaliation, and weaken Trump politically. They agree Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, but oppose using force to stop it. Full analysis:

🚨 New TRIP survey: 95% of IR scholars rate Trump’s second-term foreign policy as poorly or very poorly. Experts say the U.S. is less secure, less respected, and less able to achieve global goals. 📊 Full analysis:
