In Denial of Bad Science

About the Series

In this investigative series, DeSmog scrutinizes the ways in which climate science deniers have been trying to take on the appearance of legitimacy through cracks in the scientific community.

We have documented ways deniers have attempted to infiltrate scientific conferences with questionable practices, publish in “sham” journals with shoddy peer review, and fund research papers that at times read more like angry emails than an exercise in the scientific method.
