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:

- https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/0...

- https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/10/american-counci...

- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/10/09/magazine/obam...



Good catch! Seems that everyone posting links to ACSH is more interested in shooting the messenger than actual science.
