Sacramento Bee: Don't Publish Climate Denial
The Los Angeles Times has adopted a policy of refusing to publish letters that deny climate change, and you should follow suit. End climate change denial in your newspaper and comment section.
Reddit Science forum has also banned comments that propagate false science and opinions that deny human caused climate change as the evidence is overwhelming.

Unless the contributor has the credentials of Albert Einstein or one of the Nobel Laureates, or has passed peer reviews from leading credible scientific journals, then we would gladly listen to their presentation of evidence. As it is, they are sowing apathy, inaction, laziness to solutions, and return to status quo without presenting much scientific evidence that has withstood peer reviews to support their position. Their opinions have become counterproductive in light of the undeniable evidences presented to human caused climate change where more than 97% of credible scientists worldwide has agreed. It would be credible for your organization to believe in sound scientific studies. But we do keep an open mind, and it now requires excellent credentials and extraordinarily good scientific evidence before they can be published. Any new scientific finding that goes contrary to the majority of existing evidences would now require extraordinary evidence to the current overwhelming majority status.

Why is this important?
Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change caused by human burning of fossil fuels.
