Q&A does it again. Now Brian Cox is exposed as fudging the facts with dodgy graphs and other props. Brian Cox confused on more than global temperatures

Richard Horton, the current editor of the medical journal, The Lancet, recently stated that, “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.”
