Its arguments tend to de-emphasize the environmental and economic risks of climate change, exaggerate the costs of addressing the problem and question the value of putting a policy in place at all.” Now they, not surprisingly, intentionally confuse the readers using only the numbers that support their agenda.

I would treat such a 'study' with the heavy skepticism it deserves. It's like as if McDonalds had released a study saying that obesity in the US is on the decline.
