A Tactic in Denial: Group Claims Co2 Is “Good” for the Environment
You’ve probably seen remarks on Facebook and other social medias about the benefits of CO2. Don’t be fooled! It’s a decade-old PR stunt born after the EPA labeled carbon dioxide a pollutant. Their aim: have it removed from a list of pollutants causing climate change.

A New Tactic for the Climate Change Denialists
In the ongoing debate about climate change, deniers always seem to have a new tactic. Case in point: A commentator left disparaging messages on an article I wrote. The story was a critique of an infamous climate change denialist. The fact that the article pertained to climate change — despite being about the individual in question — was enough for this person to unleash his vitriol.
He ranted about how wrong I was and posted a few links to a pseudoscience site to support his screed. In addition, he used the typical talking points that these exchanges tend to have.
