Fact vs Myth vs Reality Check

It was quite interesting reading the “Friends of Science” website to see what they actually had to say, and see the reasoning they provided for the disproving climate change. But it seems odd, that this website is called “Friends” of Science, but it tries to disprove the evidence and facts that have been proven through meticulous evidences and recordings. For instance looking at Myth 3: Human produced carbon dioxide has increased over the last 100 years, adding to the Greenhouse effect, thus warming the earth. But the website continues to explain that “the rate of growth during this period has also increased from about 0.2% per year to the present rate of about 0.4% per year.

So I can agree that, carbon dioxide has increased over the years, but I can’t agree with them that when they say the main driver of global warming is CO2. If there has been science experiments that has been done all over the world, and everyone is coming up with the same conclusion about the direct correlation between CO2 and global warming, how are the “Friends” of Science, disproving the facts right in front of them. As, the website, “How to talk to a Climate Skeptic” shows, they are in denial of the facts. It seems that sophisticated computer models, ice cores, and readings from all over the world, is not enough for them to believe.

The purpose of the website is to separate truth from myth, but as we can see, denying the truth, shows the true purpose of the website. The true purpose of Friends of Science is to deny the facts, without giving sufficient explanations, and without having credible research compared to “How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic” which gives detailed explanations, and research from credible reports. As a result of seeing the reports and explanations, a person who really wants to know what is true and what is right has to look at the information with open ears and eyes. Denying everything just shows a closed mind, not an open mind, which proves what? To who?
