There are a lot of people out there—unqualified, un-degreed, un-peer-reviewed people—who actively reject the consensus among climate skeptics. These people are rank deniers.
These bold casuistry mongers should cause us grave concern. If they can refuse to admit something so obvious as skepticism of the accuracy of climate models, who knows what else this temerarious rabble would deny? You know which historical incidents I mean.
Deniers! How they vex me!
Listen: I and my fellow skeptics have taken great pains to present a coherent, logical picture of the vast uncertainties inherent in predictions of the future. We have written article after article, blog posts by the thousands, appeared on interviews too numerous to count, published books, lectured across the globe.
And every time we look, it’s better than we thought! Yet the simple facts we preach won’t sink into the skulls of deniers. Our words just bounce off their ears and fall to ground where they are gleefully trampled.
Who knows what mischief this unschooled mob is capable of? Should we allow their dangerous, unpatriotic—even treasonous!—follies to taint the views of ordinary folk? Should we do nothing as their paranoid ravings run roughshod over peer-reviewed research? Perhaps arresting and jailing the most obstinate of the denialists will give them pause.

Sounds like he’s reached the foot stamping stage...
Somebody give this moron a bottle and put him down for a nap.
Are we seeing an awakening of “some” true-believer greenies that their cause has been hijacked by the Commie Left?
I think that is what happened in ClimateGate.
“Watermelon environmentalism” (green on the outside but Commie “red” to the core on the inside) is the takeover of any sense of sane conservation. Conservation is not necessarily a bad thing, but wako environmentalism is.
Is it possible to turn those conservationist to the Right? Away from Big Government and Central Planning disasters?
I don’t want to come right out and say it, but some Freepers could use a lesson in how to read an article completely.
When read only partially, or, worse, when only a headline is perused, mistakes are likely.
Did anyone read the post? From what I can see he is mocking warmists as ‘climate skeptic deniers’, not mocking climate skeptics. An alternative strategy: mock them as cultists and plead for keeping religious belief out of government policy.
I think the guy actually agrees with you.
He is talking about Global Warming Truthers, not skeptics.
His use of deniers is awkward in our current lexicon.
LOL Its just so confusing.
Am I a vexatious denier or a denier of the vexatious deniers?
Yes, a scientifically ignorant lot these climate change hoax deniers are, as there is little if any evidence that CO2 had ever caused global warming in the past, at least not when the levels were to within about 15 times of what they are today. In fact, the correlation between CO2 and global temperature change has been a REVERSED one: temps rise first via some natural process THEN CO2 levels (an average of 800 years later!) rise. And, importantly, the subsequent CO2 rises never lead to any additional warming, the so-called “runaway greenhouse effect” that global governance lefties like Al Gore keep warning us about.
There are plenty of pedigreed doctors, lawyers, financial advisors who have been found to be charlatan’s, snake oil salesmen or outright thieves.
And this dork doesn’t think these frauds have the ability to screw people.
This article is rather poorly written. It took me awhile to figure out what this guy was talking about.
I’m a Holocaust Denier Denier, in that I deny that there’s anyone who denies the Holocaust happened.
This is hilarious!!!!
With all of the “almost impossible to tell if it’s satire” articles now, I read most of these articles very carefully. LOL!
I think you’re both fed-up with vexatious deniers and a vexatious denier yourself :)
