Quack Science

On his Substack, Robert Bryce has an interesting article regarding the Rocky Mountain Institute. RMI is a left-wing energy think tank, and has been wrong about everything from the beginning. Somehow it grows and prospers. Somehow it vacuums up massive federal grants, to the point it has over six hundred employees and a long roster of +$200,000 executives.

Its most recent debacle was to claim that gas stoves were responsible for a large proportion of childhood asthma. Unfortunately, they had neglected to cite the most definitive and thorough previous study that showed no correlation. For this, Bryce labels them an organization of Quack Science. I hope this term catches on and is used appropriately for the most egregious cases of left wing scientific errors.
