Climate change and nutrient pollution are depleting oxygen from oceans: study

The top post to a scientific report is an ignorant screed [not a personal attack -- literal, actual truth] lamenting how wrong everything is, attacking a journalist who did a completely fine job (classic denier playbook), how it has nothing to do with warming. When called upon it began grossly misrepresenting the study, etc.

This is the classic denier play book. Denier 101.

It sits high and mighty. It must be correct, right?

Congratulations, dang, you've moderated yourself a wonderful little AGW denier niche. All while we pretend that scientific reports are "political" lest we ruffle the feathers of idiots who want to imagine how things should be based upon their opinions.

You broke the site guidelines. Someone else breaking them, or posting a bad comment, doesn't make it ok for you to break them too.

If you know more and have better information than someone else, you actually have a greater responsibility; breaking the rules by ranting, doing flamewar, calling names and so on, discredits the greater truth you're in possession of. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I realize that's far from easy when you're surrounded by lies and distortions, but it's work we're all asked to do here.
