Publisher's Summary

If you listen to any political argument, you're eventually bound to hear something like: "The science is settled on this." Or: "Just look at the statistics!" Or: "There have been studies that say..."

You'd think we were living in the golden age of science and reason. But the truth is far more sinister, says Austin Ruse. We're actually living in the age of the low information voter, easily misled by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies. In Fake Science, Ruse debunks so-called "facts" used to advance political causes one after the other, revealing how poorly they stand up to actual science.

Fake Science is simply brilliant

This book exposes the listener to numerous science subjects that have been skewed by people with an agenda and are happy to sully the name of scientific research in the process. From climate science to DDT thru reproduction and gender theory the listener is educated on the subjects in both an understandable and verifiable way. Damn good audio book.

Strongly stated positions

an enlightening book with strongly stated views.
lots of references to scholars, scientists and others that I have never heard of ( would take a lot of effort to verify). regardless, the authors views are certainly plausible. content is more vitriol than debate or discussion.

fascinating insight and lots of examples

What I really enjoyed about this book was the many examples of faulty scientific methodology in a range of issues like LGBT, global warming, abortion, overpopulation and others. Highly recommend.

Finally the truth presented.

Some very important facts are presented in this book that are usually hidden from the populace. I am grateful for the courageous author who is willing to highlight so much fallacy.
