Why climate deniers are winning: The twisted psychology that overwhelms scientific consensus

“Climate denier” = the new heretic.

We have seen this before -— it was called Lysenkoism (see Wikipedia) in the Soviet Union in the 1940s and 1950s. For example, “Scientific dissent from Lysenko’s theories of environmentally acquired inheritance was formally outlawed in 1948.”

1. Those "other scientists" have difficulty getting funding to match that given to the activists
2. There is a problem trying to disprove an assertion which takes decades to show up and when the activists try to blame 'global warming' for everything, even very-cold winters. The activists are also quick to blame any negative trends as just being a short-term fluctuation.

Paul Rosenberg isn’t a scientist.

There is a problem trying to disprove an assertion which takes decades to show up

I thought science was based on known facts, observable phenomenon, and the ability for others to replicate the results of an experiment. What they are asserting is simply conjecture...in factactually stating a desired outcome as fact...it's nothing but a bald faced lie.

We have records and graphs of solar activity and records of global temperatures...I've seen them...they are parallel.

All that information is readily available without reinventing the wheel (re: other scientists' lack of funding for research)

I'm pretty sure the observation that solar cycles affect global temperature cycles (on several planet) plus the knowledge that warming and cooling was happening way before man was generating any appreciable amount of smoke or "greenhouse gases" should be enough for the average scientist, of any field, to go out on a limb and confidently challenge the hoaxters and wannabe "climate scientists" on their fantasy based con-game.

And it is based solely on computer modeling and inaccurate data. In other words, the "scientists" have been caught red handed cooking the books.

..when the activists try to blame 'global warming' for everything, even very-cold winters.

They need to be mocked into oblivion and charged with fraud.
