Today, climate deniers are hooting about something called the World Climate Declaration, an anti-science screed that claims to have 1,200 "scientists" declaring that there is no climate emergency. A couple of notes on that. 1/ 
The Declaration is in fact just a continuation of a project by something called the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL), a lobby group funded by two Dutch millionaires. @DeSmog has plenty of details here:

As you'd expect, CLINTEL is deeply intertwined with fossil fuel money and many of its ambassadors are involved with US fossil fuel lobbyists the Heartland Institute and the Cato Institute. 3/
The Declaration can be found below. As you will see, the wording itself is extremely lazy, comprising a list of stale, debunked I-got-this-from-Facebook tropes. No research is cited.

When you scroll down the list of signatories, you'll note that few come from climate-related disciplines. A notable number are from the oil and gas industry. Eight are either current or former Shell employees. 5/
The six climate change myths listed are all dealt with comprehensively on Skeptical Science's Argument page (below). Not one of them holds up to even casual scrutiny. 6/
