Remember Reality

Skepticalscience.com referred yesterday to the latest op-ed written by climate skeptics on why nothing should be done to address climate change. The author of the blog article pulled apart the skeptics and their tactics one by one, showing both their lack of knowledge and ties to the fossil fuel industry. The author then proved point by point that the "facts" that these skeptics used in their op-ed were completely cooked up.

It's important to be reminded that disinformation continues to be spread to the general public regarding global warming and climate change. It is done in a way that tries to mask reality and present it as the truth. Because there even continues to be a debate about global warming proves that these tactics are effective enough. The longer that action and solutions to addressing the warming globe are deferred, the more fossil fuel giants and other industries win.

These climate skeptics may indeed be scientists, but their ties, their outdated credentials, and their fake facts prove that they don't speak for science. The consensus among scientists has been communicated to the public, and the real facts are disseminated for our consumption. Reality is in front of us, and even if skeptics try to disguise it to throw us off the trail, it is still reality. Unmask those who try and offer you this false reality.
