It’s time to start ignoring the climate deniers
The Globe and Mail ^ | December 8, 2014 | by Isaac Tamblyn

Posted on 12/08/2014 2:23:42 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

I do not believe that climate change deniers exist. I have heard the statistics and have seen the graphs, but I am not convinced. So I do what the supposed deniers do – I ignore them and move on.

The next time you find yourself in a conversation with friends and colleagues about climate change, I would ask that you do one thing – skip over the discussion about the deniers. By talking about the deniers, the debate focuses on how to fix the problem of denial rather than climate change itself.

Not everyone has to believe in it; what is required is that most of us do something about it.

Dealing with this issue will require money and leadership. Prevention and mitigation will mean spending money. This is unavoidable.

Let’s use the mandate that we have given ourselves and agree to implement what most already believe is a good idea. Canada needs to ignore deniers, hold our leaders to account, and start allocating our considerable resources to address climate change now.

Because the LIARS promoting this FRAUD, are incapable of debating the facts.

Their last resort is to ignore reality and declare victory.

It’s an important part of “science” to stick your fingers in your ears and yell “LALALALALALA I can’t hear you!!!”

On the next thread, I was wondering how to push back against charges of “white privilege”. This author has furnished me a method. Just ignore the charge and move on.

Hey, it worked for Hitler in 1945. He pretended the Russian divisions weren’t pouring into Germany and they dissappeared! /s

I believe in climate change. From August to January the climate changes from summer to winter and I have to pay the government to prevent it from happening but they never can stop it, it happens anyway every year.

These are the same wooly headed professors who can’t survive without their secretaries. They are incapable of managing their offices, but they believe they can manage the weather. That could qualify as mental illness.

I haven’t read the article (as usual) - but “from the title alone” (smile if you understand, Sid) -

Have we gone from being called “global warming deniers” to “climate change deniers” and now to “climate deniers?”

Wow.

Yeah. Those deniers keep stating, against all evidence to the contrary, that we have to destroy the economy to save us all from non-existent man-induced climate change.

Isaac, you are really lacking conviction yourself now that you are calling it “climate change” instead of “global warming”.

Most of us are doing something about it. We're ignoring you.

“Dealing with this issue will require money and leadership. Prevention and mitigation will mean spending money. This is unavoidable. For the past 200 years, using the atmosphere and oceans as a dumping ground for our excess CO2 has been free. Restructuring our economy will cost money. Fortunately, this is something that we have been able to do successfully in the past. Preserving the ozone layer meant changing the chemistry of refrigeration. Saving our lakes and rivers from sewage and industrial waste required substantial public and private spending on infrastructure across many sectors. Limiting the flow of CO2 into the biosphere will cost money, but it is something that we can afford to do.”

Like a true Marxist, take money from the PEOPLE and strengthen the STATE who will give you permission and tell you how to live.

If this PUTZ wants to help he could stop breathing.

Al Gore made half a billion dollars so far from this scam, so what I am trying to do is start a new “settled science” of “global imbalance”. My science states that on the earth there are more people on one side than the other and as a result this is upsetting the way the globe spins and eventually we will reach a point where the earth stops rotating and one side will get cooked and the other side will freeze. STOP GLOBAL IMBALANCE NOW! We have to give people the choice to either move or they must buy imbalance credits.
