I couldn’t agree more with this guy, Matt Walsh, in the article posted on theBlaze.com, Climate Change Deniers Are Completely Insane.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n

If anyone is a climate change denier \u2014 that is, someone who denies that climates change \u2014 I\u2019d agree that he is an imbecile and probably mentally unstable.<\/p>\n

Yet that view doesn\u2019t exist because we all know the climate changes.\u00a0Of course<\/em>\u00a0the climate changes. It\u2019s a climate. That\u2019s what climates do. They change. It gets colder, it gets hotter, it rains, it snows, it does all kinds of things. I don\u2019t deny that, and although I\u2019m not a Republican and I take great exception to that accusation, I feel safe in speaking for them when I say that they neither deny the fact of the climate, nor the fact that the climate changes. Progressives use labels like \u201cclimate denier\u201d or \u201cclimate skeptic\u201d (for the people who are willing to believe that there\u00a0might<\/em>\u00a0be a climate, but are still a little iffy on the whole thing) because they are not interested in an honest discussion. You either buy in to their environmental dogma one hundred percent, or you will be painted as an idiot, an infidel, and a maniac.<\/p>\n

Now, why might a person be skeptical about the theory that humans are causing dramatic shifts to the climate, and that these shifts will eventually kill us all? Have you ever thought about why someone might have these reservations, JM? Have you really taken the time to consider the reasons for this skepticism? Yeah, they\u2019re morons, right, I get it, but have you determined that they\u2019re morons because the media and people on Twitter told you they\u2019re morons, or because you gave their case a fair hearing and came away with the impression that they have absolutely nothing even slightly coherent to say? I\u2019m guessing it\u2019s more the former, which makes you not necessarily a moron yourself, but an intellectually lazy chump who can be easily herded and exploited.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s a lot more to his article; very well written, and very much in line with the way I see the issue. The climate change issue seems to have less to do with science than with politics, and the people making the most noise about it don’t do themselves any favors when they start demonizing anyone who doesn’t agree with them on the subject. Well done, Mr. Walsh; bookmarked<\/a>.<\/p>\n
