Is it just me or are all the links people are posting in this thread to debunk this scientist from the same domain?
I hadn't heard of ACSH, so checked their about page:
> a pro-science consumer advocacy organization
A consumer advocacy org. Not a scientific research council, as —I would argue—their name highly implies.
Their about page also says:
> We do not represent any industry. We were created to be the science alternative to “news”
The top-3 links in the references section of their Wikipedia page that seem to contradict this line:
