Quote of the Week: “Nobody’s honest. Scientists are not honest. And people usually believe that they are. That makes it worse. By honest I don’t mean that you only tell what’s true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind. — Richard Feynman, “The Unscientific Age” in The Meaning of It All.

THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)
Scope: This Week discusses the questionable claims surrounding Hurricane Helene. It addresses a misunderstanding regarding the greenhouse effect of atmospheric gases. Also discussed is the recent paper claiming a 485-million-year relationship between CO2 and Earth’s temperatures which is based on suggested physical evidence and mathematical simulations, with no explicit controls on the data used and no proper testing. TWTW brings out a foolish article by AP that research to improve maize varieties due to worries about climate change and another claim of a magic form of electricity to achieve Net Zero.
