Hello Gents!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Birthday and all the rest!
Sorry about the cross posting of this post, and sorry I haven’t been participating on the boards lately – been slammed over the last several months. (Probably just as well for the Global Warming nutters, otherwise I would have had a lot of fun with the recent disclosure of widespread academic fraud in the Global Warming nutter’s camp– something that legitimate climatologists have been whining about for decades).
In any event, the academic fraud issue should be a clarion bell to those who think that objective science is used by policy wonks. Wrong.
I have just finished revising two web sites in another area where we see junk science predominating in the public view with the silly meaningless manipulations of confusing numbers – residential radon. The discussions won’t make some of you happy – but, what can I say? The truth is what it is, without regard for men’s desires (including my own).
The pages include new and updated references, and reflect the current state of scientific thought on the radon issue. My spelling has not improved, and any criticisms along those lines would be appreciated.
The discussions are:
General Discussion on radon – occurrence and risk:
Radon: Truth vs. myth (http://www.forensic-applications.com/radon/radon.html)
And minor revisions to the famous literature review page:
Radon Risk and Cancer
Radon: Risk and Reality (http://www.forensic-applications.com/radon/reviews.html)
Cheers!
