Climate change: Debunking Deniers' Drivel

[Louisiana1976]

Ideologically shaped skeptics on climate change – the deniers – have a goal: Avoiding regulation of the fossil fuel industry by attacking global warming as a myth based on lies that climate science is invalid. The liars' misinformation campaign to decrease public support for climate change legislation and a treaty has been successful. During the past 18 months alone, deniers have sufficiently confused the public resulting in decreased support for the belief in global warming, as shown by two recent polls in October and November.

We need to nix now what deniers hope will be a downward trend ...with a few facts that debunk their dribble.

But can we win on facts? Deniers preach that we dont have to change, that we can do what we want. When in fact we cant, but that is a fact that people cant live with (ie its *bad* news).


I think we need to somehow get people to connect with nature and the planet on an deeply personal level. Versus the current *domination* or *use it up* mentality. And the "rapture" and "who cares it's gods will people have GOT to freaking wake up.

Otherwise, I fear that the general population wont look up from their shinny toys and drivel until it's too late.
