Morrison references a 2009 Pew poll that states that half of people in the United States believe there is disagreement among scientists about global warming. However, a consensus has existed among scientists for over a decade. In his article “Global Warming Misinformation,” Morrison says the public can combat this misinformation by educating themselves on what he calls “red flag arguments,” which are arguments commonly used by climate deniers. Roy Spencer is a well-known climate denier. According to Dana Nuccitelli, writing for The Guardian, it suggests that climate models cannot accurately explain future events because they cannot explain past events. This argument is incorrect because, as Lisa Moore points out, scientists have used climate models to accurately recreate global temperatures between the years 1900 and 2000, which shows that they can recreate past events. By being informed about current topics, such as Roy Spencer's misinformation about climate models, people can help correct the damage caused by climate deniers. While the response to climate change has been slow, there is still time to act. Whether people volunteer to plant trees as part of a group or buy a low-carbon vehicle, everyone can do it
