Sure it is.    As if releasing millions of years worth of stored carbon in less than two hundred as occurred in the Permian won't affect the paper-thin earth's atmosphere - as long as we pray about it as some congressmen believe.   What I'd love to see is a study conducted on the link between science denialism and Fox "news" and other fossil fuel-funded news outlets.   Confirmation bias is their specialty and the willfully ignorant love to lap it up like gravy.
