The War on Science

[Retrograde]

Since the other thread is now closed I thought it would be worthwhile to post some background on the recent false claims published in the Australian:

Part of the BOM's response:


What I found interesting is that some of Australia's data has actually not only been independently assessed by peer-review but also as part of the Berkeley Earth (BEST) project.
Marohasy herself is dependent on funding from a climate-sceptic - she's hardly independent then.

Here's a catalogue of another 80 odd lies about science printed in The Australian:

Or better still we could avoid this type of thread spam altogether and focus on astronomy.......... the other thread was closed for a reason

(and my 'ignore this user' list would not get so big ......)

We don't need another thread discussing it.
