Never mind, Gowanna has slithered off in disgrace as well he might. But let's be reminded he's not a Lib, he's a Libertarian.

You'll need to show what they got wrong in the study.

looked at over 400 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia out of a sample of about 2,500 Pennsylvania children ages two to seven.

I'm not going to prove anything, but I have questions.

The Yale study is implying that nearly 20% of the "sample" have leukemia. Do they have any other data to support that claim on a larger scale? And what were the criteria used to choose this sample of 2500?

Another crap study. They studied a period from about 2010 to the present. They had no baseline data on health of individuals in these areas previous to the study. So, they had no way of knowing if other factors were in play. This is a typical fallacy where correlation is assumed to equal causation.

Looks like you didn't actually read the study.

Oh dear the Goanna is back. How many times does it have to be said that the study is bullshit? Here is an excellent article by Matt Ridley on how the Green Blob works to kill off anything they don't like.
