    Reading Snopes will give you plenty. Read the articles - and a lot of them use weasel-wording to push the result they want.

    I don’t have the exact article on hand at the moment, but an example would be someone claiming that clear-cutting 1000 acres of trees would destroy [X]^3 of CO2 reduction; and then Snopes will “fact check” it by saying they aren’t cutting down 1000 acres of trees this year.

      That's not a correct understanding of how Snopes works. They debunked this.

        We’ve investigated ourselves, and have found nothing wrong!

  yeah, never mind the references in the article where they pointed out the evidence for their conclusions. :P
