Brilliant. Should be required reading for Environmentalists, May 27 2011
By R. Bramwell "Never expose a child to the irra... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rival Hypotheses: Alternative Interpretations of Data Based Conclusions (Paperback)
This book taught me more about *rational* scientific skepticism than five years as a post-graduate (during which I was no slouch at seeing flawed assumptions). Example after example is explained, clearly and thoroughly, showing why an apparently convincing body of data is fraught with very serious reasons to dismiss the obvious interpretation it suggests. Failure to recognize the essential flaws, narrow context, correlation without causation etc. dominates Environmental 'science', particularly in the doomsday scenarios that are repeatedly raised (e.g. supposed: global warming, ozone destruction, vanishing water supplies, landfill crises).University professors no longer know the foundation of their own field: proper and effective scientific *epistemology*.
