The climate is changing, and anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The climate is changing; I don't think you can deny that. But climate has always changed.
So when you're dealing with an existential threat like death or like climate change, if you see it as 'we are all toast anyway,' then denial is a pretty good way of coping.
Those who say that climate change doesn't exist are being understood as the flat-earthers that they are, as the people who deny the link between smoking and cancer, as the people who denied the link between HIV and AIDS.
Anyone who says there is not a change in weather patterns is denying reality.
It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in.
It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.
The conversation on global warming has been stalled because a shrinking group of denialists fly into a rage when it's mentioned.
Denial has been a way of life for me for many years. I actually believe in denial.
I don't believe that there is anybody who denies climate change in the Democratic caucus. Everybody accepts that it is a real problem.
Never denied climate change. It has always changed and always will.
