Junk Science site being Googlebombed

Blogger John Ray from Australia tipped me off on this one. From his blog, Dissect Left:

Something nasty is happening to the Google listing of Steve Milloy's "Junk Science" site. See here. It looks at first like an ordinary Googlebomb but Steve's site does not come up among the top listings at all. The googlebombers must have linked heaps of sites as well as their main spoof site. Oddly enough, when I Google directly from Australia, Steve's site comes up first -- as it should. The above link uses an anonymizer so Google cannot tell where the query is coming from. That makes it look a bit as if Google themselves are involved in the prank. Anybody reading this who has a site should immediately link to Steve to help him out. Just reproducing this post would do the trick.

Using what's become known as Junk Science, using faulty or misinterpreted scientific data to push extreme environmental causes, is a popular hobby of the left.

More on "Googlebombing" here.

I've added Milloy's site as a link.
