Thom Hartmann vs. The Godfather of Climate Change Denial



Marc Morano, Climate Depot.com, joins Thom Hartmann. Every second - 2.4 million
pounds of carbon pollution are being pumped into the atmosphere - warming the
planet - and having disatrous effects on the environment. Is this startling
statistic enough to make climate change deniers wise up to the perils of global
warming?

It's deflecting by equivocation. "Pollution" is defined differently by dictionaries. It can be something that has unwanted effects.

And the larger argument is to "teach the controversy" of which there is little among climate scientists. It's the result of propagandists like Morano (that's his name?) that the general public is so confused. The studies he cited were not peer reviewed scholarship.
