It's a very good tool for dealing with misinformation.
And it contains an answer to one climate change myth that I wasn't even aware of: apparently, there have been arguments that greenhouse gases have not caused global warming since...wait for it...Mars and Pluto are also warming up (and, as far as we know, neither of them is served by Easyjet.)
Apparently, though, that line of analysis is even less convincing than it initially sounds...
Having grown up in what I was repeatedly told was a nine-planet solar system, however, sentences like the following are somewhat jarring:
Our solar system has eight planets, one dwarf planet and quite a few moons...Alas, poor Pluto. Vertically challenged, but no less beloved for all that.
(Besides, I thought there were actually, three dwarf planets...)

A good point about the three dwarf planets, I'll correct that bit.
Glad to be of service. I see it's been corrected. And thus, science advances...
Excellent work on the 'Climate Myths', by the way. That's very helpful indeed.
