The BBC ran an article this week quoting Harrison Schmitt in 1972, showing a picture he took, and comparing it to a recent picture.  The point was to show how earth had changed due to global warming.  The pictures didn’t show any such such thing, and Harrison Schmitt is a high profile climate skeptic.
