The Sloppy Science of Roy Spencer
by director on Feb.21, 2009, under science
As Roy Spencer makes the rounds of corporate media outlets spreading propaganda against the science of global warming, a few sites are taking note of Spencer’s record of rather sloppy science.
The DeSmog Blog has gathered many sources on Roy Spencer’s rather unscientific methods, as has a Squidoo lens on Roy Spencer. Among these are mixing his Christianity with his science, and working for more than one organization that takes corporate funding from Exxon-Mobil.
The Way Things Break notes that Spencer has given public support to the pseudoscientific Creationist Intelligent Design ideology.
Irregular Times notes Spencer’s seeming disdain for statistics, as well as Spencer’s infamous blunder in drawing wildly inaccurate conclusions from measurements in the troposphere.
