Debunked, but I applaud the university for admitting its false.

Ahhh

Someone finally took my spotted owl advice.

” Check the Numbers “ /-)

I’m confident that if
all “ studies” had their numbers checked the fraud would climb higher than MT.everest and the EPA would cease to exist.

Now I’m a bit worried. I hope no one will go back and question my groundbreaking paper on fish who wear party hats.

I am not surprised by the shabby research and and the fraud, nor the honors and money they got for the fraudulent research.

I am surprised that the fact of their fraud was published.

Did she get Michael Mann to help her compile the data?

I bet that if you look at the spreadsheet, the totals are fixed numbers and the column entries are equations of the totals.

Is that a polite way of saying she "sleeps with the fishes"?

Oh. Gee. I completely forgot about all of the “C02 > acidification” hoax.

But hey. It got her a lot of money. And she will still be praised by many even though she is an unscrupulous Leftist crook.

Yes, but I am sure that she got to keep her grants, and maybe got more because she will prove anything, whether true or not. Sad state of academia.

This has been one of the more extreme of the climate change scams— the idea that CO2 dissolving in the ocean will turn it acidic. “Ocean acidification” is the buzz phrase, even though the ocean is distinctly alkaline and will stay that way no matter what. Sure scary though— if you disregard the laws of physics.

Thanks RACPE & Red Badger.
[snip] Several former members of Dixson’s lab supported the whistleblowers’ request for an investigation. One of them, former postdoc Zara Cowan, was the first to identify the many duplications in the data file for the now-retracted Science paper. Another, former Ph.D. student Paul Leingang, first brought accusations against Dixson to university officials in January 2020. He left the lab soon after and joined the broader group of whistleblowers.

Leingang, who had been at Dixson’s lab since 2016, says he had become increasingly suspicious of her findings, in part because she usually collected her fluming data alone. In November 2019 he decided to secretly track some of Dixson’s activities. He supplied the investigation with detailed notes, chat conversations, and tweets by Dixson to show that she did not spend enough time on her fluming studies to collect the data she was jotting down in her lab notebooks.
