Physicist and author Peter Ridd says “people don’t realize it but about 50 per cent of scientific literature is faulty".

The results of eight studies from James Cook University (JCU) on the impact of climate change on coral reef fishes were “tested and found to be 100 per cent wrong”.

The JCU Coral Reef Centre told North Queensland farmers their actions were “killing the reefs” before legislation was passed in December to "restrict what farmers can do in terms of pesticides and fertilisers”. “We are told to trust science but the problem is with the institutions,” Professor Ridd told Sky News. "The difference between a climate sceptic and a climate believer is whether you trust the institutions."

Dr. John Robson investigates the unsound origins and fundamental inaccuracy, even dishonesty, of the claim that 97% of scientists, or "the world's scientists", or something agree that climate change is man-made, urgent and dangerous.
