Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate the Resilience Left Biased based on very strong left-leaning environmental positions and Mixed for factual reporting due to the use of obscure unknown sources as well as disagreements with the consensus of science regarding GMOs.

Analysis / Bias
Resilience mostly republishes environmental news stories from other sources, as well as a few original stories. Republished stories come from a wide variety of known media sources to obscure blogs that have not been checked for factual reporting. While Resilience occasionally reports on news from a right-leaning perspective, almost all come from the left, with the general theme of striving for the Post Carbon Institute’s goal of a 100% reduction of carbon dioxide. Resilience also publishes an occasional political article that typically favors the left, such as this: Between Trump and a Devastated Place.
The Resilience also reports on GMO’s and rejects the notion that they will provide food sustainability in the future and questions their safety, which is opposed to the current consensus of science.
