Around the world, frogs are found with missing or misshaped limbs, a striking deformity that many researchers believe is caused by chemical pollution.

The deformed frogs are actually victims of the predatory habits of dragonfly nymphs, which eat the legs of tadpoles.

"Deformed frogs became one of the most contentious environmental issues of all time, with the parasite researchers on one side, and the 'chemical company' as I call them, on the other,"

"There was a veritable media firestorm, with millions of dollars of grant money at stake."

The pattern of making scientific claims that don't hold up to actual scrutiny, on account of all the research $$ you get.
