Skeptical Science (v. 1.0) Разработано Shine Technologies |
Ever heard someone claim Global Warming isn't happening? Did their explanation seem wrong but you didn't know why?
Skeptical Science helps you find out what the peer reviewed science has to say about global warming and allows you to respond to statements by skeptics with hard science!

[2013-10-17] A Google User: Interface is subpar Icon is ugly and not vectored, which puts me really off(please save the file in tiff or something)... And the references are not shown. The presentation is OK, but they really need a serious designer to polish this... App? Shouldn't it better be integrated with Google Currents then? More of a epub file than a hassle to download an app. And it's not that "scientific" either, but more like a environmentalist propaganda (which I am not against). But the app should do what it's advertised to do. |

[2013-09-26] A Google User: Good scientific content but seemed to cause a wifi problem The content is very good, uncontroversial although US based denialists and conspiracy theorists don't like it. But it seems to have upset my wifi connection, at least it's broken (keeps dropping the connection whatever the router) since I installed it. Have sadly uninstalled, but no improvement in wifi problem. Could be unconnected of course. |
|
[2013-09-20] A Google User: A smooth app that presents solid science on a critical topic I have a few news apps I regularly read, and this is on my short list. Their weekly summaries of scientific advances (and how these are either accurately captured or misrepresented by various media outlets) are indispensable in keeping up with this complex and rapidly advancing subject. I rely on this for my work and research. Very nice work! |
|
[2013-08-27] A Google User: Much of this isn't scientific We need to stop pollution, we need to take care of the planet, but unscientific oppinions is not the way. I want science. |
|
[2013-08-26] A Google User: Great content, great app. The SKS web site is an incredible resource for answering questions on climate change with real science. |
|
[2013-08-19] A Google User: QUITE GOOD APP Thanks, dev! |
|
[2013-08-16] A Google User: Aded to the best climte denile lib is the news Scietific response to every denier argument in your hand |

[2013-07-28] A Google User: This should be included in gapps |

|
[2013-06-21] A Google User: Excellent tool in combating the deniers Convenient access to Skeptical Science info to counter the false claims of climate changer deniers. A "must have" app if you care about the planet's future and want to get the message across succinctly. |
|
[2013-06-17] A Google User: Pseudoscience It fills idiots heads with more garbage |
|
[2013-06-15] A Google User: Garbage |
|
[2013-05-25] A Google User: Sorry folks, this is the data. Not controversial. ...or as Stephen Colbert puts it: "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." Yes, this material is one sided, because there is no science on the denialist side. It's good to have this info at hand for the crazy guy at the lunch table. No, it won't convince him, (why are they always men?) but it will others, and it will make him stop. |
|
[2013-04-19] A Google User: Handy Comfortable, only having to pass over my phone to annoying deniers. |
|
[2013-03-29] A Google User: Misleading title Not a skeptical science app, it's a one sided argument for global warming. I was expecting a critical dispassionate analysis of scientific subjects. Not so. |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: Logical Both sides presented. Plenty of references to follow up on and decide for myself. I do enjoy the collection of common disbeliefs regarding anthropogenic global warming. Such a helpful tool. |
|
[2013-02-13] A Google User: A must read for those living on Earth Great extracts from climate science institutes and experts- not sure why so many people consider the views of random lay people to be so valid. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Good Application This application has all of the arguments from the SkS website used by climate change contrarians. Furthermore, it has news feed from the SkS site whenever a new article or argument is posted. Some people complain that the app and SkS are biased, but that is because science itself is biased toward reality and the reality that the global climate is changing and humans are causing it. Good work Cook et al. |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: Excellent Reliable, science-based resource with links to sound, factual information. Expect this to get trolled by the professional climate-change deniers. Great app. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Great app Very useful and frequently updated. Great work. |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Great but needs expanding Great app, but need more subjects of skepticism, add 9_11, religious claims, medicine, etc etc |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Thank you I appreciate your concerned approach to the tide of narrow thinking and pundit style dialogue that envelopes those who do not cherish our human scientific endeavours |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: Awesome! Brilliant idea. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Creationists are bat-5hit-crazy morons Bury your heads in the sand you deluded suckers. |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Useless Does not work on my LG Ally. Nothing opens other than intro pages. |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Fantastic Informative and easy to use. Any appearance of bias is simply an accurate reflection of the state of the science; it is happening, it is our fault and we do need to do something about it. |
|
[2012-09-16] A Google User: Disappointingly biased It seems impossible to simply get the facts on climate change, and this source has a heavy bias in favour of "climate change is real and it's human made". A lot more scepticism is required about both sides of the argument, and it would be nice to see the NIPCC positions against the IPCC reports challenged in a forensic manner. Maybe the site will evolve into something truly sceptical, but life is too short to wait for it. Uninstalled. |

[2012-07-15] A Google User: Deniers are funny. They seem to mostly exist in the U.S. and think that somehow there's a global conspiracy between scientists to concoct this wild story for profits for a few.Something is happening that's for sure,here in Wa St we set some weather record every yr now,just last night I went through the craziest lightning storm I've ever seen.That just doesn't happen in western Wa,till last night anyway.It was fun:-)I saw at least 1,000 bolts through the night. |

[2012-07-10] A Google User: A bit easier than viewing the site on Android WWW I wish this type of site had been around when the same mouth-breathing industrial-apologists were claiming that CFCs can't harm the ozone layer. An app to debunk Creationists would be equally useful, for most of the same reasons. The content of the 1-star reviews for this app goes without saying. I think some of those fools saw the word "skeptical" and assumed it was a right-wing echo chamber app (I think the name is intentional that way). Notice how such people take science for granted when it brings them computer tablets, fancy cars and modern medicines. They're fine with the scientific METHOD until it questions their economic agenda or religious beliefs. That's known as hypocrisy, folks. Technically, this app does use a good deal of space on the internal memory, and (on a decent sized tablet) it's not all that much more useful than just viewing it in the WWW browser. Handy, but not essential unless you have no connection. |

[2012-07-02] A Google User: Great handy reliable resource Mark Twain once quipped that a lie is nearly halfway around the world before the truth has had a chance to put it's pants on. So too when combatting the myriad of skeptic claims which don't stack up to scientific scrutiny, it takes time to find the scientific sources. This handy little application links to the peer reviewed literature to give you the ammo you need in a timely fashion. |

[2012-06-12] A Google User: Please fix move to SD Card so I can reinstall! Excellent app the only reason I can't give it five stars is that it can't be moved to the SD card on my old LG-P500 (dispite it claiming to support AS cards) so I'm having to install as it's taking up to much room. Otherwise a first class app! |

[2012-05-16] A Google User: Don't trust this app Not a very good app, uses statistical data from main stream science which is most made to prove there is actual global warming. Global warming has been debunked, and was even caught with fraudulent data tweaking their statistics. It happen during 2010-2011 when hackers from Russia hacked into personal classifed emails and released them on wikileaks. Don't be fooled by the powers that be. |

One star for persistence of the myth. |
