Net Zero Watch is today publishing an important paper on the failings of institutional science.
The author, statistician, and philosopher of science Professor William M Briggs takes the reader on a journey through the dizzying array of problems that affect science today, from the fallacy of falsification to dodgy models to the crisis of replication and more. [emphasis, links added]
Professor Briggs said:
“Not all science is broken, but much of it is, and much else is of little real use. Why is this? I hope my paper explains why.”
Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:
“This is a thoroughly entertaining romp through the details of a very serious problem for society. Briggs has deployed his wit and wisdom to great effect.”
