The Australian's War on Science XII part 3
The Australian wasn't content to publish Phil Chapman's silly ice-age article, but also published a news story that treated it like a legitimate scientific paper.

The Australian's War on Science XII part 2
As well as Chapman's silly ice-age article, the Australian published a news story about it, treating it as if it was a legitimate paper and failing to get comments from climate scientists. The ABC acted like a real news organization...Posted on April 23, 2008 11:24 PM • 33 Comments

The Australian's War on Science XI

Conspiratorial Thinking About Science
Daniel Engber's Slate article The Paranoid Style in American Science is well worth a read. He explains how the Creationists, AGW and HIV/AIDS skeptics go well past skepticism into conspiracy theries about science. Hat tip: Mark Hoofnagle....Posted on April 18, 2008 5:20 PM • 6 Comments
The Australian's War on Science X
The Australian front pages an article on "eminent historian" Don Aitkin who attacks the "quasi-religious" scientists of the IPCC for advocating that some action to combat global arming should be taken. Aitkin deploys the argument from incredulity He says an...Posted on April 9, 2008 2:32 PM • 87 Comments
Another meltdown at the Australian
Last month the Australian mounted an over-the-top defence of one of their pundits after blogs criticised him for spinning as favourable to the government an opinion poll that showed the opposition way ahead and no change in its lead. So...Posted on August 23, 2007 1:51 PM • 9 Comments
The Australian's War on Science IX
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote how the Australian had misrepresented Rajenda Pachauri (IPCC head), falsely claiming that he supported the Australian government's policy of delay. Media Watch has the latest developments. Pachauri wrote to the Australian: I am...Posted on August 21, 2007 2:04 PM • 37 Comments
The Australian's War on Science VIII

The Australian's War on Science VII
Rupert Murdoch might be concerned about the harm that threatens from global warming, but the Australian is still in denial, printing an opinion piece by Alex Robson and Sinclair Davidson, who continue to deny the existence of scientific evidence for...Posted on May 13, 2007 1:16 PM • 6 Comments
The Australian's War on Science VI
The Australian's War on Science has continued. Fortunately, I am able to outsource the refuting. First, Nexus 6 takes apart a Tuesday editorial where the Australian foolishly allows itself to be swindled by a British TV show. (Mind you the...Posted on March 16, 2007 1:24 PM • 14 Comments
The Australian's War on Science V
The Australian doesn't just make war on climate science, they don't like epidemiology either, printing Anjana Ahuja's hatchet job on the Lancet study. Greta at Radio Open Source has posted a response from Les Roberts:...Posted on March 7, 2007 1:14 PM • 12 Comments
The Australian's War on Science IV
I only wrote my last post on the Australian's War on Science a couple of days ago and already there's more attacks on science from them. First we have this news article: Professor Henderson said yesterday the report by the...Posted on March 3, 2007 11:51 AM • 39 Comments
The Australian's War on Science III
Last year I wrote about the Australian's War on Science. It's continued this year, leading Ian Musgrave to write: The Australian is Anti-Science, it's a conclusion I'm reluctant to draw, but the accumulated evidence drives me to it. Read his...Posted on February 26, 2007 10:54 AM • 8 Comments
The War on Science
In my review of Chris Mooney's The Republican War on Science, I contrasted Mooney's book with Gross and Levitt's book about the the postmodern left's war on science, Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science. Now Mooney...Posted on February 4, 2007 6:34 PM • 14 Comments
