+ ## About Us
24
+
25
+ Skeptical Science gets skeptical about climate change "skepticism." We combat the flood of climate misinformation by presenting **peer-reviewed science** and explaining the techniques of science denial, climate delay discourse, and solutions denial.
26
+
27
+ ### Our Mission
28
+
29
+ Global warming is real and human-caused. Our simple mission: **debunk climate misinformation** by bridging the gap between climate science and public understanding.
30
+
