Australian geologist Ian Plimer challenges the widely cited statistic that 97% of scientists agree on human-driven climate change. Plimer traces the number back to a University of Queensland survey where, out of thousands of respondents, only 77 were specifically selected for the final metric, and 75 of those agreed with the consensus. He argues the figure is a result of statistical manipulation rather than a broad scientific survey.

A study from the University of Queensland linking long-term cannabis use to psychosis is scrutinized for potential bias. The hosts reveal that the lead researcher, John McGrath, and the university have received millions in pharmaceutical grants. They argue that drug companies fund such research to prevent the legalization of marijuana, which competes with their products for treating nausea and other medical issues.
