Political abuse of psychiatry was a systematic process of suppressing dissent in the old Soviet Union, so it’s no surprise that this methodology would be embraced in an obamanation to silence critics of global warming.
Frontal lobotomy?
Cant they just appeal to my bigotry, greed, and insensitivity if they want me to believe in global warming?
And he's so utterly convinced of the imminent rise in sea levels that he recently bought ocean-front property.
Thank God it is in the nature of youths to rebel, particularly in America.
Ted Nugent had a saying: "Raise hell. Remember Rosa Parks. Vote smart."
I.E.: "Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!"
B.S. is always B.S regardless of how its framed or spun.
these psychologists can not be very bright
Believe or you will no longer be contributing to climate change....
Next: psychologists investigate how to get little boys to take the Emperor’s new clothes seriously.
Global Warming is a fraud used by the left as a power lever like the “War on Women” and affirmative action
Liberalism is too much to Western society what Walter Freeman was to medicine.
That ship has passed.
Well, I don’t know about “environazis”, but I’ve discussed the subject with many an otherwise nice enough person who is a believer in AGW (as a primary climate driver). I just direct them to this:

and this:

and then ask them if humans were responsible. That usually quiets them.
(Ecclesiastes 2:26)
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
The TL;DR for that is “We haven’t sold it well enough.” Yeah. Here’s the problem. No sales job is going to do much good when the potential customers think (not entirely without reason) that the product is crap and (with extremely good reason) that even most of the best-known salespeople don’t believe in it.
It would be a simple matter to enlist conservatives in global warming if it were in fact what its proponents say it is. Problem is it is based on lies, deception, manipulation and phoney science. There is no global warming. That is the problem.
I can’t get the graphs to post — maybe they are blocked now?
Why don’t we just pass a law that requires all doubters to go to special re-education camps?
The authors take it on faith that global warming is not at best an artifact or at worst, a confidence-game massive sting.
They abandon the scientific method, which (IIRC from my freshman classes in...science) begin with developing an hypothesis to explain an observation, testing the hypothesis (making all data and methods available), inviting others to reproduce the results, and encouraging contrary questions and investigation.
There has never, ever been "settled" science; and, any true scientist would welcome thorough and impartial studies to see if results are replicated.
(Any true scientist, by-the-way, would be more than curious about the 3.5 million square miles of sea ice growth in Antarctica and other record cold temps; and maybe that the sea level has not changed a whisker. Of course, true scientists would not use computer models, with variables so numerous and assumptions so loaded that reaching a valid conclusion is not verifiable, on which to base an observed effect.)

They see how it works on lefties and think it will work on Conservatives. :-)
