I got it wrong. My guess was the article said cocoa puffs cause global warming and global warming will cause medical problems.

The simple answer is that the journals are fake. I get emails every day from such journals, mostly based in India and China, asking me to submit my research. No serious researcher would publish in such a journal.

You can get a decent education in some aspects of anatomy in such an establishment.

Shrime decided to see how easy it would be to publish an article. So he made one up. Like, he literally made one up.

Worked for Jonathan Gruber and Paul Krugman. :)
