> Cole claimed that, as a result of burning fossil fuels, "the oxygen content of the atmosphere must start to decrease."
> That claim was incorrect and debunked as early as 1970 by climatologist Wallace S. Broecker writing for Science in June 1970.
Broecker in 1970 article[1] explains that a slight decrease in O₂ concentration is a definitely a non-concern compared to increase in CO₂, yet, unlike the article claims, still projects about 0.2% decrease of atmospheric O₂ for 1970-2000 period.
This is what I don't like about debunking articles. If debunking, at least they should get their facts straight.
