I understand some murderers better than I do climate-change deniers. I can’t get over the idiocy of not harnessing as many free, plentiful, endlessly renewable power sources as we can, even if the process didn’t happen to be a matter of urgency. Wind! Sun! Waves! Pouring down on, roving endlessly over and around the earth, gloriously, abundantly free, forever! And all but a fraction utterly wasted. I don’t get it.

Beyond that, you have to ask: do the deniers think they’re more knowledgeable than people who have made geophysics, marine biology, meteorology and innumerable other branches of specialist science and knowledge their life’s work? Or do they think that such people are more likely to have formed a cabal to fool us all? Why? To what possible end?
