The issue focused on keeping scientists safe from fake climate science research and technologies that researchers claim could harm humankind. Scientists say scientific literature uses scientifically inaccurate theories to justify harmful conclusions. "One scientist took science seriously when he developed an innovative theory about biological chemistry," argues physicist Ian Edwards. Scientists often repeat studies without empirical evidence. Science becomes academic journalism for academics who share scholarly expertise. Another researcher explained how academic peer review processes affect scholarly publishing by proving facts before publication. Scientific publications require scholars to compare statements they publish with scientific facts
