You can argue its bad science but it was about science. It was about ice melting and historical temperatures not costs of policies to limit CO2 emissions. It would have been fine if it was about the later, because that certainly is a serious concern, but it wasn't about that.

As for 2nd hand smoke being junk science, well it depends on what claims about it your talking about. The idea that it poses some additional level of risk to people who are frequently around smokers isn't junk science, even if it isn't as well qualified as people who push the idea hard might claim. OTOH those who claim that any level of exposure however mild or short term is a serious health risk are indeed promoting junk science.
