Despite the international scientific community's consensus on climate change, a small number of critics continue to deny that climate change exists or that humans are causing it.

I'm not a big believer in man-made climate change.

Even though all that CO2 has been spewed and belched into the atmosphere, there isn't any warming. Therefore, the person, people, whatever, predicting global warming for any reason have been wrong for 20 consecutive years.

That means that the person predicting global warming is not credible and does not deserve to be listened to.

“Denialism” sounds monstrous. It was coined decades ago to designate people who claim the Holocaust didn’t happen.

This was an attempt to discredit them by linking them to Nazis without making any factual assertions whatever.

It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in.

The climate-change deniers are rapidly ending up with as much intellectual credibility as creationists and Flat Earthers. They are nudging close to having the moral credibility of Holocaust deniers.

These are the people who don't believe in evolution or global warming. So, why would they believe default would hurt anything?

Stick with the global warming for just a second, because you're fully aware that I call it a hoax, and that might be off-putting to some. The simplest way to explain to people who want to believe it's true - and you know who they are. Those are people looking for ways to make themselves matter.

The next time you see John Stossel or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, these flat-Earthers, these corporate toadies, lying to you, lying to the American public, and telling you that global warming doesn't exist.
