Ten misleading claims by climate change deniers

Professor J. Timothy Londergan taught physics at the University of Indiana (Bloomington, USA). With a colleague he established the blog Debunking Denial, which aims to challenge false "facts". In this public lecture, Professor Londergan will apply his insight into the debate on climate change.

“While anybody is free to approach a scientific inquiry in any fashion they choose, they cannot properly describe the methodology as scientific, if they start with the conclusion and refuse to change it regardless of the evidence developed during the course of the investigation.” — Judge William Overton, from his ruling against the teaching of “creation science” as science in Arkansas public schools (McLean vs. Arkansas Board of Education, 1982)

“A skeptic will question claims, then embrace the evidence. A denier will question claims, then reject the evidence.” — Neil deGrasse Tyson (2016)
