Are the climate change deniers with no evidence just naturally gullible?
To dismiss a scientific canon on the basis of evidence that has been debunked evinces an astonishing level of self-belief

"...
Now our old friend Christopher Booker reminds us of his membership of this select club, with a remarkable article for the Spectator:
"I spent a fascinating few days in a villa opposite Cap Ferrat, taking part in a seminar with a dozen very bright scientists, some world authorities in their field. Although most had never met before, they had two things in common. Each had come to question one of the most universally accepted scientific orthodoxies of our age: the Darwinian belief that life on earth evolved simply through the changes brought about by an infinite series of minute variations. The other was that, on arriving at these conclusions, they had come up against a wall of hostility from the scientific establishment."
...
His view of evolutionary science, in other words, is in line with his view of climate science. Indeed, he makes the link explicit:
"We have seen a remarkably similar response from the scientific establishment to anyone dissenting from that other dominating theory of our time, that rising CO2 levels caused by human activity are leading to runaway global warming."
What he's saying is that it is no longer acceptable to tell people they are wrong. If you knock down the claims of people who can marshal no sound science to support them, you place yourself in the same category as the Inquisition or Stalin's thought police.

Dear Eyal, greetings from Germany! (For the fun of it I try to write this in this Hebrew interface) I dearly remember when we met in this Greek forest, more than a decade ago... It took you 1/10th second to convince me that climate "change" is an utterly serious problem, with your spontaneous reaction to a silly denialist joke I made on the bus... I still got the paper with your address, but I always read "Momag". Now, having scanned the blogosphere for many years I found you again...

Good find an old friend sorry brother back then I didn't realized the full extant and severity of climate change but as Fred Pearce in "With Speed and Violence: Why scientists fear tipping points in climate change." say "The more I learn ..... the more scared I get.

PS this post come after I exposed that the chief "scientist" of the education ministry is not only climate change denier but also deny evolution. so the English title is Monbiot Article on the twin brother of Gaby (Gavriel) Avital.
