Another day, another stupid assault on the truth by the fossil fuel industry and its paid lackeys. In a recent op-ed for the New York Post, Tom Harris, the executive director of the so-called International Climate Science Coalition -- an organization that's funded, in part, by the fossil fuel industry -- blasted Leonardo DiCaprio for his work on "Carbon," a new documentary on climate change that I helped write and present.

 

I won't bore you with the details, but essentially, Harris' editorial is basically a grab bag of all the recycled myths trotted out by Big Oil every time someone dares to mention global warming.

 

They're all there - idea that man-made climate change isn't settled science, the idea that greenhouse gasses are actually "good," the idea that there's a big globalist conspiracy to hide the truth about CO2. Anybody who reads it is almost guaranteed to lose a few IQ points.

 

But there's one lie that really stands out from Harris' piece. And that's the idea that climate scientists and climate activists are actually evil, that they're part of a big virus or "monster" that's sucking up money and resources all in the name of saving the planet.
