Today's Bad Science

GREEN CRAP Study of shrinking Mt. Adams glaciers— a good example of bad science.

“ A Sierra Club soirée no doubt The recent Portland State University study of glaciers on Mt. Adams by is a good example of bad science, i.e., how a dogmatic bias and selectively leaving out contrary factual data can lead to bad conclusions. As an exercise in critical thinking, I used to have my graduate students take a paper like this apart, piece by piece, to show any scientific errors. Here is an analysis of bad assumptions and errors in the Mt. Adams study. [Anthony Watts, cont] Bad science; a.k.a. ideology friendly science,  is one  thing Algore might actually have invented, when as senator he bequeathed taxpayer funded grants to science mills willing to play flash-for-cash.  Who's funding them now?  The political left, and groups like the Sierra Club, who use bad science as $fear-raisers.  By the bye, my Man of the Decade is Anthony Watts.  He, as much as, and prolly more than any other individual, was most prominently involved in exposing  the bad science of man caused climate change. He wins $10,000,000 in the event I am able to pay it.  ”
