Last August, atmospheric scientist Andrew Desler was asked to fact check an article.

There was essentially nothing, nothing that I would say was correct in the article in its factual statements

about climate science.

Andrew Dessler is an expert on climate change at Texas A&M University, who's previously advised

the federal government.

He was doing some fact-checking work for a non-profit organization called Climate Feedback.

So Climate Feedback reached out to me to fact check

an article that had appeared in the Washington Examiner

in August of 2019.

The Washington Examiner is a conservative news website

and this article was starting to gain traction on Facebook.

Now, climate feedback is one of the organizations that does fact-checking work for Facebook.

They have a partnership.

So when Andrew and four other climate scientists did the fact-check,

they determined...

It's 100% bullshit.

There are people out there whose job it is to muddy the waters and that essentially is what

this op-ed is.

It's there to sow confusion and to make people believe that we don't understand the physics of the climate

system when we really do we understand it extremely well and we all agreed

the article is terrible. I've been doing this for a very long time.

Crazy stuff gets written about climate change all the time.
