Du Pont, Limbaugh distorted scientific research to downplay global warming
The North American Media Matters Action Network is reporting that Du Pont, Limbaugh distorted scientific research to downplay global warming.
Wall Street Journal columnist Pete Du Pont claimed that carbon dioxide is “not a pollutant” and repeatedly cited a misleading, industry-funded study on climate change to prove that the “truth about ‘global warming’ is much less dire than Al Gore wants you to think.” Similarly, Rush Limbaugh noted that the “Antarctica ice sheeting is actually increasing” as evidence that global warming theory is “unsupportable by facts.”
In fact, only the interior Antarctic ice sheet is growing, which is considered proof of climate change.
It’s refreshing to see Media Matters systematically debunk these outrageous and dangerous liars. It’s shills like Pete Du Pont and Rush Limbaugh who’s lies are muddying the climate change debate and holding back progress that could save millions of lives. There is blood on these people’s hands. — DS
