No Such Thing As A 'Climate Denier'

There is no such thing as a climate change denier. Everyone knows that the climate changes. The debate is over how much is under our control.

There are many Americans who oppose expensive and bloody wars against an enemy that is not geographically based, because it is an exaggerated response to an exaggerated threat. Do you call such people 'terrorism deniers', just because they think that occupying Iraq for twenty years doesn't solve anything?

A 'War on CO2' is as misguided as a War on Terror, for the exact same reason. It's an exaggerated response against an exaggerated threat. ( But, like the War on Terror, the war on CO2 can keep a lot of well-connected people and corporations lots and lots of money. )
