Sad thing: those Deniers deny the science, they deny current events, they even deny reality itself. It's almost as if they inhabit a different world...
And they sure do seem to hold our planet's life supporting biosphere in contempt...
And they tragically seem to have little interesting in learning from the full spectrum of evidence.
