Not only does stuff like this make me headdesk, it is telepathically transmitted to my cousin at FSU with the meteorolgy PhD, so he’s headdesking too.
re: #76 reuven
I’ve always wondered what the real motivation behind the climate-change deniers is. It seems deeper than a skepticism about climate change. It’s more of a reaction to the rejection of the notion that G-d will, somehow, bail us out.
Or maybe they feel a big catastrophe would be welcome as “judgement day.”
I think at the core of the geunine denialists there’s two things: fear of a shift in the worldwide status quo; and fear of the interconnected, chaotic system that climate change implies.
