U.S. news coverage usually refers to climate deniers as skeptics. That is misleading. Skepticism is invaluable to the scientific method. But an honest skeptic can be persuaded by facts. These deniers are largely impervious to facts — at least facts that contradict their worldview.

And yet he doesn't present a single scientific fact in the entire article.

I would remind this claptrap selling little twit that 100 years ago the ideals of eugenics and the idea that blacks had inferior mental capabilities were far more universally accepted among scientists than AGW is now.

40 years ago, these same scientists told us we were headed for an impending ice age.

25 years ago, they were telling us the oceans would be dead in 20 years.

10 years ago, they were predicting that snowfall in England would become such a rare occurrence by this date that kids wouldn't even know what snow is.

They are doomsday cultists selling their religion on the public dime.
