On Monday and Tuesday this week, climate change denial is facing intense scrutiny as U.S. Senators take to the floor to speak out against the network of industry-funded climate denial organizations purposefully deceiving lawmakers and the general public about climate science and stalling action to tackle this critical issue.

On social media, the #WebOfDenial event captured the attention of the Twitterverse, quickly becoming a trending term on the social network. Throughout the event, DeSmog is capturing some of the top Twitter highlights for you.
