Contrary Brin: Distinguishing Climate "Deniers" From "Skeptics": "Several claimed to be rational, educated fellows who regret the shrill anti-intellectualism of Fox News. Yet, they still defend the core notion underlying the anti-HGCC (human generated Climate change) movement -- the premise that virtually 100% of the thousands of scientists in a given field can be suborned, corrupted, or intimidated simultaneously into supporting a nonsensical, baseless theory.
A baseless theory that thousands of 'skeptics' happen to be able to see through, all at the same time.
'We skeptics just want to get our questions answered,' one person wrote. 'Until then, of course, society should do nothing rash.'
That sounds so reasonable, who could refuse?
Well, in fact, after two decades of seeing 'let's not do anything rash' used as a talking point excuse for doing nothing at all? No, it doesn't sound reasonable."
