points of climate change, who are being used to deny it altogether.

A scientist who says "introduced carbon is not likely the prime cause of global climate change" may have research highlighting the effects of methane release from thawing arctic tundra. If he believes that carbon release added to combinations of volcanic gasses and methane put us over a tipping point, but that the carbon release would not be enough in of itself to do it, they use his name as believing that "introduced carbon is not...the...cause of global climate change". He may, in truth, be wholly in agreement that climate change is happening, and that we need to reduce the one variable that we have control of, carbon emissions, in order to reverse it - but that part of his argument won't be heard.
