@GeneSohoForum @AlexEpstein @BjornLomborg The real deniers are the climate catastrophists. They deny that the climate changed before the Industrial Revolution.

@Chaos80397926 @BobMurphyEcon Plenty of important thinkers have shown that to be false. It's systemic. It wouldn't take much to compile a list of such thinkers.
