3. Sometimes, you do shoot the messenger

The Heartland Institute?

Are you serious?

The same people who tell us about the great scientific conspiracy called global warming?

The ones who get bucks from, inter alia, the Koch brothers?

That is your source?

Not to mention your rather dubious syllogism:
MP: Widely reported research is emerging tying a chemical to an effect.
mp: One time, there was widely reported research tying a chemical to an effect, which research (according to the Hearland Institute) was wrong.
C: The current research is wrong.

Anybody spot a problem with that?
