Considering the amount of money Exxon-Mobile dumps into creating the perception of scientific dispute about man-made global warming, such as
JunkScience.com, where peer-reviewed papers are deemed "junk science" and corporate-sponsored studies are deemed "sound science".
The Oregon Petition which was circulated to tens of thousands of people with any degree, along with a "review" of climate science written by a Christian fundamentalist with no climate science background, and signed by 17,000 people based on that "review", most signees having no background in climate science. Yet it is cited as a petition signed by 17,000 climate scientists.
People like Rush Limbaugh who flunked out of college and has no science background whatsoever and yet has a rapt audience who treat his opinions as fact.
All the BS on the internet claiming that soda pop, water vapor, solar variations, volcanoes, etc. are the primary cause.
When people want to believe this misinformation, how do you combat it?
