* In 1999, the [[American Psychological Association]] (APA) published a report on child sex abuse saying that sexual relations between children and adults are "less harmful than believed" and might actually "be positive for willing children." How could trained psychologists, let alone anyone in their right mind, suggest that sex between adults and children could be positive for the children? Luckily there was a huge uproar throughout society about this absurd conclusion. As a result the APA backed down and acknowledged that there was a serious problem with the study and that they should have been more careful in publishing the report in the first place.

* In Australia, the 2010-2011 Queensland floods resulted in 35 deaths and over $1 billion dollars in damage. Some senators and academics asserted that the floods were caused by global warming, and in particular, the coal industry. This link was used to justify calls to tax the coal industry as a higher rate, however the assertion of the floods being caused by global warming was revealed to be a selective and incomplete use of historical scientific data.

The record shows that since 1840, there have been five floods higher than that which recently inundated parts of Brisbane, three of them in the 19th century, long before there was any suggestion of global warming.<ref>Westmore, P.
