Is your scientific data actually garbage

[00:00:00]Now, you might be thinking, this guy sounds like he's talking sense, but is there any independent scientific proof?

[00:00:07]Absolutely.

[00:00:08]And it comes from the most authoritative source possible.

[00:00:13]In January 2026, a group of EPA affiliated and funded scientists published a landmark paper in the Journal of Limnology and Oceanography Methods.

[00:00:27]They analyzed 10 years of data from 72 monitoring stations across all five Great Lakes.

[00:00:35]978 samples in total.

[00:00:39]Comparing fluorometer readings to actual microscopy-based identification of what phytoplankton were present and in what quantities.

[00:00:50]What they found was unequivocal.

[00:00:54]Now, scientists have known for a while that fluorometers are not particularly reliable. And chlorophyll A is not a reliable metric. And so have the manufacturers of these devices.

[00:01:07]They know about the flaws I've told you about. So, they've made every effort to try to develop more sophisticated equipment to overcome these limitations.
