In a MedScape editorial, Robert Lowes defends Dr. Oz from criticism about weekly miracle cures and scare journalism by noting that the pro-science and health groups aligned against him support lower greenhouse gas emissions, in the form of natural gas, and the safety of genetically modified foods, implying that American CO2 emissions have not dropped due to cleaner natural gas and that GMO foods are harmful, both against the science consensus in earth science and biology, respectively.
It's certainly fair for groups to circle the wagons around Dr. Oz. Unfortunately, Lowes engages in the same logical fallacies Oz did in responding to nationwide criticism brought about by the American Council on Science and Health's letter asking Columbia to reconsider his faculty standing - he seeks to tear down critics instead of showing evidence where they are wrong.
