It’s time to start ignoring the climate deniers

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.

The only way these alarmist clowns could have spewed their "97% consensus" lie is to have ignored the multitude of honest scientists exposing their fraud. (You know, the majority of scientists not bought off by Big Government to lie in support of growing government.)

I wonder, if someone showed him the “progression” of the Colorado River under Man’s controls over the decades, if he might reconsider that Man (governments) are really to be trusted even if we had the means to control the climate.

My understanding is the 97% figure is of climate scientists. Not scientists in general. Then they cherry picked the "climate scientists" in the study. Plus, almost by definition, climate scientists believe in the AGW fraud. It's all a bunch of hooey.

Like life isn't hard enough already, the loony left makes up imaginary problems. Tilting at windmills seems to be the sport of leftists.

Somewhare someone is having a good time and this must be stopped.
