Naomi Oreskes: "Merchants of Doubt" (Part 2 of 6)

Proceed to Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4XCCkU0U3s
Naomi Oreskes is a Professor of History and Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego, and Adjunct Professor of Geosciences at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Oreskes is also a co-author, along with Erik M. Conway, of the book, "Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming."

This presentation was made possible through a cooperative effort between Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, and the University of Kansas.

Oreskes’ clumsy, venomous smear campaign: busted

Jonova (.) com

The great Fred Singer takes the time to explain why Naomi Oreskes is a scientifically inept and a poor historian. Her famous claim of a scientific consensus based on 900 papers missed more than 11,000 that should have been included.Her grasp of science is so poor she isn’t familiar with the pH scale, thinks Beryllium is a heavy metal, mistakenly assumes that CO2 is trapped in the troposphere, & climate models&predict forest fires

[Antithropocentric]

@JoeJohn90, you're playing the classic denier game of blaming the other guy while shirking one's own responsibility. It's a common tactic of the small-minded, and gets applied to countless issues beyond global warming.

Naomi Oreskes is a scientifically inept and a poor historian. Her famous claim of a scientific consensus based on 900 papers missed more than 11,000... Her grasp of science is so poor she isn’t familiar with the pH scale, thinks Beryllium is a heavy metal, mistakenly assumes that CO2 is trapped in the troposphere, and climate models can predict forest fires and floods. Embarrassingly, Oreskes doesn’t understand the difference between reactive oxygen and radioactive oxygen. (“American Thinker”)

[JoeJohn90]

The stunningly gorgeous comrade Dr Oreskes the historian says it right, the debate has long been over. Capitalist countries CO2 emissions, are 1000000 times more harmful than CO2 emissions from communist countries like China

Nothing will change until dealing with climate change becomes profitable.
