This short thread should be helpful whenever the usual suspects lob their usual attacks against @skepticscience! It won't change their minds but it should inoculate everybody else happening upon the exchange against their misinformation about our website!
It's amusing how those in denial about human-caused climate change quickly resort to ad hominem attacks against our website and team when somebody links to science-based content on So, here is a thread with information about who we are and what we do. 1/n

Debunking 33 Myths About Solar, Wind, & EVs! Thanks to the @SabinCenter, we adapted their report to tackle myths on clean energy costs, reliability & more into 33 individual rebuttals. These are all available now and we'll highlight one of them each week!

Another easy to digest and understand fact brief about a climate myth which apparently won't die given how often I saw it mentioned recently in various places on the web!
Fact Brief #17: Q: Is more CO2 a good thing because it’s plant food? A: NO - While CO2 is necessary for plant growth, the negative impacts of climate change, driven by man-made CO2 emissions, far outweigh short-term productivity gains. [..]

I‘m still at a loss for words having worked closely with John for many years on @skepticscience where his in-depth climate science knowledge and writing savvy was what made many projects possible, enjoyable and successful. Like many others who’ve known him, I‘ll miss him a lot.
Words cannot really do justice to express our sadness at losing our team member John Mason.
