Denialists “For today’s political left, that charge is an undefined, all-purpose smear intended to banish you from polite company.”

Denialists
“For today’s political left, that charge is an undefined, all-purpose smear intended to banish you from polite company.”
We “deniers”
are not in denial
about climate change,
but we are being denied
the right to make
a nuanced argument
against climate science’s
environmental certainties
and the extreme difficulties
of forecasting anything
more than a 3 day
weather report.
For the record,
the use of “denialism”
is an affront to the loyal opposition
(of which I am a loyal member),
who think the whole gaggle
of political scientists are
in denial.
Name calling
doesn’t pass
the intellectual smell test.
It’s a high school tactic.
