The Australian: "Climate sceptics called every name in the book" PDF Print E-mail

Brendan O'Neill comments in "The Australian":

 

"Has any intellectual current ever been so disparaged and demonised, so ferociously harangued by the chattering classes, as climate-change scepticism?

 

Every slur in the book has been hurled at those who dare to question climate-change orthodoxies.

 

They've been compared to Holocaust deniers. They've been branded psychologically disordered. They only use their "reptilian brain", says one eco-author, which means their outlook on climate change is not "modulated by logic, reason or reflective thought", Al Gore says.

You aren't called denialists for asking questions. You are called denialists for refusing to listen to the answers.

Climate science deniers share the same methodologies, tactics, and political motivation with every denialist movement, including Creationism, moon-landing denial, round-earth denial, HIV denial, vaccine denial, 9/11 denial and Holocaust denial.

Educate yourself here:

"What is Denialism?"

@bjedwards: Your are denying the natural causes of climate trends? You are a denialist yourself! Shame! You're evil!

So having justified doubts that the climatic change is human made, only answered with unscientific nonsense, is like holocaust denial or creationism, opinions which both are as scientific as climate calculations for the next 50 (!) years? May I also doubt this or am I a double denialist then? You should read more serious books, best about the scientific method, and less blog articles.
