"You heard it here first. According to Natural News, a NASA report has verified that carbon dioxide actually cools the atmosphere.

Practically everything you have been told by the mainstream scientific community and the media about the alleged detriments of greenhouse gases, and particularly carbon dioxide, appears to be false, according to new data compiled by NASA's Langley Research Center. As it turns out, all those atmospheric greenhouse gases that Al Gore and all the other global warming hoaxers have long claimed are overheating and destroying our planet are actually cooling it, based on the latest evidence."

[Ed. note] I'm going to post this, because why not argue science that has been settled? Also, we needed to test the algorithm that generated mod points by sparking conversation. This was as good a way as any to get posts quickly. Sorry if you thought SoylentNews really endorsed this. ~Mattie_p

    Yeah, like a publication tagged "Natural Health News and Scientific Discoveries" is my go-to source for science reporting..... then again the source [principia-scientific.org] of these claims does admit some minor bias:

    Principia Scientific International (PSI) was originally conceived in 2010 after 22 international climate experts and authors joined forces to write the climate science bestseller, ‘Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory.’

    Just because someone says it's science doesn't make it true.

    That's true, but science in general is in trouble on that front. The number of retracted scientific papers is skyrocketing, and a large proportion of these are due to fraud.

              It was a perfectly ruined story before I ruined it.

              Wait, what?
