Join in "The Climate Reality Project"

You've heard it before.

"Climate change isn't happening at all." "You can't prove that the world is getting warmer."

Big Oil and Big Coal love these myths. But that's exactly what they are: myths.

This month, The Climate Reality Project plans to destroy myths like these once and for all. And we need your help to do it. We're turning the heat up on anti-science deniers in the fossil fuel industry and beyond with our Put the Heat on Denial campaign.

And we're starting by debunking the myth that climate change isn't happening.

It's August and summer is coming to an end, but do you know what? Temperatures keep rising around the world - and there's no denying it. But Big Oil and Big Coal are doing their best, spending big money to spread big doubt about climate change.

So this week, we need your help to destroy the myth that climate change isn't happening - because you and I both know it is. Make the deniers feel the heat with some cold, hard facts ( https://realitydrop.org/#myths/42 ). We've put the key science at your fingertips at RealityDrop.org, so you can set things straight whenever you see online articles repeating denier myths.

So please join Reality Drop and debunk the "It's not happening" myth. Your voice is so important to spread truth and put the heat on denial.

Thanks for all your hard work,

The Climate Reality Project Team

P.S. Use Twitter to help spread the word about our Put the Heat on Denial campaign - and use the hash tag #HeatOnDenial. Thanks again.


Scientists have known about global warming for decades. It's real. Retweet this #HeatOnDenial reality http://bit.ly/1etxvPA @ClimateReality

It is all about education and this type of approach might break through attempts to put a wall up against such learning.

But I like a multi prong approach, too. I think we should ridicule the deniers as well.
