'''JunkScience.com''' is a website maintained by [[Steven J. Milloy]], an adjunct scholar the [[Cato Institute]] and the [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]] - right wing [[think tanks]] with long histories of denying environmental problems a at the behest of the corporations which fund them. Milloy is also a columnist for FoxNews.com.
Milloy defines "[[junk science]]" as "bad science used by lawsuit-happy trial lawyers, the '[[food police]],' environmental Chicken Littles, power-drunk regulators, and unethical-to-dishonest scientists to fuel specious lawsuits, wacky social and political agendas, and the quest for personal fame and fortune." He regularly attacks environmentalists and scientists who support environmentalism, claiming that dioxin, pesticides in foods, environmental lead, asbestos, secondhand tobacco smoke and global warming are all "scares" and "scams."
