Well, now, I guess there is a target fixed on my back.

I regard it as a mark of honor. Just not in my own time.

Just so you know, I do not WELCOME the slings and arrows. But if this is their best shot, I have been called “crazy” for a lot more.

And yet that did not change my mind one whit. I rejoice in foxes everywhere.

This mixed-methods study investigated whether more malleable psychological factors: locus of control; information processing style; and anti-reflexivity, predicted climate change scepticism above and beyond socio-demographic and value factors

Do these lunatics really believe this trash? Another prime example of indoctrination by education.

Can’t get any more Stalinesque than declaring your political opponents “mentally ill.”

Right. It’s modern day Lysenkoism.

How about a study proposing to look at psychological factors involved in the climate change fantasy? Plenty of goofballs over there...

Read the article all the way through, and it was definitely comic relief.

Then, right at the end, the wrap-up didn’t exactly match the headline:

“While the study doesn’t come right out and say that skeptics of a “climate emergency” have some sort of mental condition”...

But I got the picture.

Sounds like someone has their cranium down under their own black hole.

When ABC News said large parts of Manhattan would be under water by 2010, I DIDN'T BELIEVE ABC News.

When Glacier National Park put up a sign up saying 'This glacier will be melted by 2020', I DIDN'T BELIEVE THEM.

When AOC said - in January 2019 - the world would end in 12 years if we didn't DO SOMETHING! I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER.

Does this make me a mentally ill 'denier'?
