Tom Steyer and his PAC, NextGen Climate, have the right idea. In 2014, they targeted key Republican climate change deniers and went after them with sharp-elbowed ads. They homed in on how climate science denial reflects the GOP’s deliberate ignorance. And they ran ads showing how corporatist Republicans like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker were favoring the Koch brothers over average citizens. The most memorable of all of these was the one that showed the 97 out of 100 white-coated scientists who accept climate science staring skeptically at a trio of simple-minded cavemen stoners who protest that “I’m not a scientist” and “We like it hot.”

Scott Walker Is the Worst Candidate for the Environment

"........"He really has gone after every single piece of environmental protection: Land, air, water—he's left no stone unturned," said Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. "It's hard to imagine anyone has done worse."

Here's a rundown of Walker's inglorious history of anti-environmentalism......."

Just have them pass a law that prohibits Earth from changing its climate. That aught to do nicely.

The mafia, gangs, mob, Cosa Nostra, - organized crime like Yakuza, Solntsevskaya Bratva, Camorra, ‘Ndrangheta, and Sinaloa Cartel and a dozen other criminal organizations use this same tactic - beat, threaten, coerce and harm the person(s) from whom they want something until they give it to them.

What's different here with Global Cooling, Warming Climate Change Thugs?

Sorry but redistribution of wealth is not fighting climate change.

To take just one stark example, look at the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities, a treaty negotiated and first signed under former President George W. Bush. Since signed by virtually every other major country in the world, and signed again by Obama in 2009, it would basically just commit the U.S. to abiding by the same standards already in place under the Americans with Disabilities Act,

Well if that is all it would do - be redundant- then what would be the purpose in ratifying it?

“global warming” is just a leftist scheme to lead to global governance.

The "most memorable" being the most laughable.

Lazy liberal definition of a scientist = a person who wears a white coat.

“Denying climate change is so out-of-step with the electorate...”

Bull crap. Polls have shown that so called “climate change” is so far down the list of concerns of the voters as to hardly even register in the minds of the electorate.

Ben Adler, whoever this worthless loser is, and Tom Steyer are fascist liars.

Here is my answer: Environmentalists and Democrats should beat climate science deniers over the head with aggressive attacks until they realize it is in their interest to back climate action.

Or in other words, use Alinsky tactics.

So force the earths climate to NOT change (which it’s been doing since the beginning of time) through taxes, hefty fines, and ridicule. Yeah, that should work.

Do you think I would be embarrassed being ridiculed and attacked by the flat earth society? Or how about the people wearing tinfoil hats? Global Warming falls into this category. I LAUGH AT AND REDUCULE these people...(not the other way around).

When Public Schools quit teaching natural science and started teaching politically correct science, the seed was planted that would sprout the huge tree that has become the Climate Change farce.

The key to it all was to completely “gut” all real science from the public educational system and replace it with fake science designed TO SCARE the timid, weak and ignorant.

Look how well the plan has turned out? We have two generations of students that progressively learned less and less real science and now pass that on to their own children.

That’s the strategy that climate hawks must mimic: aggressively attack Republicans who deny the science of climate change or say we should do nothing about the problem.

This is the problem: scientific illiteracy and the lack of intellectual rigor and iron self-principles.

Bullying like the author suggests is futile against someone with a hard science degree who knows the fraud that is "climate change".

If people change their positions based on political self-interest, then they get what they deserve.

But merely knocking down others’ arguments is insufficient when they are trying to solve a real problem.

I agree, that doesn't work because advocates of the "climate change" scam cannot refute our arguments.

It is telling that that the author lets a little truth slip through though. The "real" problem isn't climate change, it is not getting their way, not getting the power they crave.

Here is my answer: Environmentalists and Democrats should beat climate science deniers over the head with aggressive attacks until they realize it is in their interest to back climate action.

So much for doing the right thing, or actually being based on science. Nope. None of that. Just personally attack them into doing what they perceive is in their best interests rather than what is best for the people who elected them. Says a heck of a lot about the liberal-fascist mindset. Apparently they see retreating to self-interest as a common thing. They will fail because unlike the liberal-fascists, we have integrity.

...look at how Republicans behave. Appeals to their sense of moral obligation to protect people or the environment always fail, as do arguments based mainly on conservative intellectual principles.

Of course they do, because when you look at the facts, "climate change" is nothing but a scam. It is one huge power grab.

The “science deniers” are persistent in their quest for world-wide socialism.

Ben Adler says, "Always defer to politics and ignore science, the Constitution and common scense. That way you can control the __Federal (Campaign-fund) Treasury(TM)__ and buy more votes."

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Virtually every Democrat in Congress voted for the PATRIOT Act.

....which is surprising, because normally empowering the goobermint at their employers' expense is what you'd expect from Republicans! [eyeroll] Not really making his point with that one.
