FactCheck.org Calls Out Rick Santorum For Claiming Global Warming Is A ‘Hoax’ | Factcheck.org calls out Rick Santorum for his outlandish statements on climate change — most recently he said “Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is.” Pointing to the extensive research backing climate change, Factcheck.org illustrates what we already know; man-made climate change isn’t a topic of debate among scientists, where 97 percent-98 percent agree it is occurring. “Skeptics are rare among scientists who actually study the climate,” it says. “Voters shouldn’t be misled into thinking carbon dioxide isn’t a problem, or that climate scientists don’t overwhelmingly agree that global warming is real and human activities are making it worse.”
