Why do some people deny climate change? Turns out, they are idiots.

As any discussion requires some adherence to evidence and real-world facts, Hater's will no longer be allowed to spread debunked propaganda on my threads.
Amen.

What I do about climate change is
1. Debunk lies told by idiot deniers.
2. Promote solutions like a carbon tax and methane tax, which I would gladly pay as long as it's universal.
3. Promote removing all subsidies for fossil fuels and replacing them with subsidies for clean energy.These are material policy changes that would greatly help solve the problem, or at least mitigate the consequences of it. Symbolic gestures are meaningless bullshit. You are treating climate change as if it's a cultural war rather than a serious and material problem. And that makes you a fool.
By taking one less airline flight per year, you would have a greater impact on GW reduction than your 3 talking points.

I doubt that, especially since most years I don't even take one flight. How exactly does one take a negative number of flights?

One thing environmentalists must do is embrace molten salt nuclear plants.
Any environmentalist who refuses is an impractical, unreasonable ideologue. There's no feasible or economic pathway to carbon neutral energy without nuclear.

Hater demonstrates the original post extensively in his recent thread.

As if you couldn't tell by the climate change deniers postings on this site. Here's the science behind it.
Who are the climate change deniers? Well, religious idiots. They same people who think that Noah really did put two of every animal on an ark, think that climate change is ridiculous.
Why do so many Americans deny climate change? For the same reason they join bat-shit crazy political organizations like the Tea Party. In fact, they are the same people. And if these idiots aren't personally affected by the problem RIGHT NOW, then it can't exist. Their Stone Age brains don't let them see threats that gradually happen over long periods of time.
Here's Why People Don't Believe In Climate Change They are easily manipulated morons getting their news from propaganda outlets like Fox News and conservative radio.

Some people suggest that we arrest climate change deniers. I don't think that's necessary. We can just take away their voting privilege -- after all, we don't let the insane vote and climate change denial is simply severe delusion and discognition from reality, and therefore clearly a form of insanity. And yes, in this country voting is a privilege, not a right, even if it should be.
We should also seize all their assets and guns and let them know that getting their guns back is contingent on solving the climate change problem. As long as their are ill effects of climate change, they don't get their guns. We'll see conservative support for stopping climate change real quick then.
