Like many other ideological? terms, there is often no general agreement as to which side of a debate constitutes "junk", and which "real" science. Debates on environmental and health issues seem particularly prone to this problem.
Junk science is largely a result of the lack of factual verification by the modern media? and by the consuming public. Publicity is easier to get if you publish outrageous claims.
[Junkscience.com] defines the term as "faulty scientific data and analysis used to further a special agenda."
