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

Ironic that Von Hayek saw fascism as a reaction to socialism. The so-called free market is responsible for more misery across the globe than any other ideology. Contrary to their stated belief in liberty & freedom, free market whackos place enormous controls on any economy in which they operate. Examples include restrictions on labor unions & environmental regulations. Free marketeers are evil & morally corrupt and, in my opinion, need flogging. Their "liberty & freedom" are only for business.
