Kahan says that if global warming believers really want to convince people, they should stop demonizing and talking down to their opponents, and instead focus on explaining the science.

That will never happen. For two reasons.

First: The environmental Left’s objective is not really to convince their opponents that they are right it is to silence the opposition.

Second: The Left is predominately emotionally driven rather than intellectually driven. When confronted by a reasoned argument contrary to their view point they will attack the person rather than the argument. Anger is their natural response to unwelcome facts.

Third: It is really hard to explain the science when all of it depends on faulty computer models; not real, provable experimentation.
