CFACT is a website sponored by big oil to defame climate change. It's mostly financed by ExxonMobil and the Koch Brothers.
ExxonMobil for instance gave CFACT almost $600K until 2007, plus several key people there: https://exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=25
Or, on a more complete scale: https://www.desmogblog.com/committee-constructive-tomorrow
In short, I believe them as much as a Nigerian scammer.

Actually, no. Scholars from all over since the ancient Greeks have accepted the Earth as round. Those without formal education and no access to information or those with information may have guessed it was flat but it wasn't ever a consensual view. |
In fact, the reason why Columbus got rejected so many times before Spain financed their travel was because not only was known, that the world was round, but even the size of the earth was pretty well known (they were off by a mere 300 kilometer or 180 miles). As such, it was known that Columbus's plan just couldn't succeed, as no ship at the time was big enough to bring enough supplies for such a long non-stop trip. Just take a globe and measure the distance between Europe and Japan by going through the Atlantic, Pacific and North America, that's just a huge distance.
