Method of a Climate Change Denier

Those who create false claims about Climate Change are clever, brilliant, and especially good at being able to make someone doubt or just plain not believe that the extremely forceful and destructive powers of our weather could NOT ever be caused by Climate Change. The way the Deniers are able to sow seeds of doubt among the general public is as skillful as a Magicians sleight of hand - except a professional Climate Change Denier's sleight of hand is done with words. Now you see it - Now you don't. Was that real, or just a clever way of making you think it's real? Magicians will go to great extremes to keep their secrets hidden so that the ways in which their tricks are done will not be revealed to the public. After all, if we all knew how a magician performed their tricks and made things disappear, or levitate, or how they walked on water, it just wouldn't be as interesting. Actually, a Magicians tricks are fairly simple - you look at one hand but the trick is being performed with the other hand. The Magician practices and practices until the trick is flawless and objects seem like they can "disappear". In fact, once the trick is known, even a child could perform it and wow their parents and friends with their newly acquired skill at making things disappear.

A Climate Change Denier's tricks are so clever, that just viewing their arguments from an audiences standpoint would make one believe that what they are saying is true i.e.: Climate Change is a myth. It is not real. It is a disappearing reality conjured up by the mean and wicked scientists. What is so clever about the professional Climate Change Denier's tricks is that what they say is TRUE, but the other side of the coin is that even though the statements they make about Climate Change might be true, it's not accurate. Here is one great secret in getting someone to doubt what they believe - STATE A TRUE AND KNOWN FACT FIRST. Let me repeat, if you want to sow seeds of doubt - STATE A TRUE AND KNOWN FACT FIRST. This is the main trick of a professional Climate Science Denier. Remember, follow the formula: STATE A TRUE AND KNOWN FACT FIRST.

Look at some of the well known professional Climate Science Denier's attacking statements on Climate Change:
1. Climate's changed in the past (True but False)
2. Antarctica is gaining ice (True but False)
3. It's not bad (True but False)
4. Not all scientists agree (True but False)
5. Climate models are not reliable (True but False)
6. It's getting colder (True but False)
7. Even if it does get warmer, life on our planet will adapt (True but False)
8. Volcanoes cause Climate Change. (True but False)
9. The planet is too big for humans to cause the climate to change (True but False)


There are more statement's like these, and if you are someone who believes in Climate Change, you have probably heard these arguments from those who are skeptics. The "skeptics" are the children who have picked up the Magicians tricks and are spreading the seeds of doubt wherever they go. What is also clever about these statements is that they are easy to remember and so blatantly true that there really seems like there is no explanation needed to defend why these statements are true. A child could repeat these, no problem, and most anyone would believe. Even the news commentators can be dumped into the children category, and are especially good at getting the word out on Climate Change Denial because they have a widespread audience.

What is especially clever about these statements is that a scientist, who knows that these statements are true, must now EXPLAIN why these statements are FALSE. It really is brilliant how the professional Climate Change Denier constructed such a brilliant web of TRUTHS to disguise what is actually FALSE. So a climate scientist must now say, Yes that's true, but. . . And the devil gets lost in all the details because the science behind Climate Change is really not all that exciting and given the short attention span of the general public, will not sit long enough to hear a boring explanation on (yawn) science. So the professional Climate Change Denier wins again. It's so simple that even a child could repeat their arguments. Meanwhile, scientists get caught up behind all of the mundane details of the science behind why what was TRUE is now False and blah blah blah - Who gives a shit.

Even worse, the general public who would like to defend Climate Change, has a difficult task ahead because their explanations must be scientific and detailed... and that really is difficult unless your a scientist who studies such things, or you are just a geek who has a knack for facts and figures and such (but who would listen to that person?). So defending Climate Change is difficult for scientists and difficult for joe public. Check off another victory for the professional Climate Change Denier - even a child could do it...

Being a scientist is not easy. In a scientist world, before a statement becomes a "fact" it must undergo the scrutiny of the Scientific Method: ask a question, do background research, construct a Hypothesis, test your hypothesis by doing an experiement, analyze your data and draw a conclusion, communicate your results. It is a painstaking and excruciating process to go through. The scientist may travel to remote parts of the planet, live in extremely difficult and uncomfortable conditions to get the data they neeed for their hypothesis.

On the other hand, those who "DENY' for a living, don't go through this process. The professional Deniers probably work in a nice climate controlled office, get paid a nice salary, and think long and hard on what their next true lie is going to be. True lies probably get passed around the nice mahogony table in the really nice plush office with the big tall comfy leather chairs to other professional Deniers. When they think of the next big True Lie they give each other high fives and pats on the back and begin feeding the true lies to the public. They communicate doubt, and by so doing undermine the whole process that the climate scientist went through to get their results.

So the purpose of this writing has been to explain how a professional Climate Change Denier works. I'm not going to defend the skeptical statements above, because that's not the purpose of this writing. Look for the answers yourself, but I'm warning you, some of the answers are long and boring. Now I'm going to get off topic and write one more thing:

Someone up high needs to pay attention to what's going on. Someone, who can make a difference, needs to embrace what is happening to our planet, embrace the science behind Climate Change, show some courage and lead us to a more sustainable and livable planet. I'm talking about our Congress. I'm talking about our President. I'm talking about our local and state governments. I don't care what your party affiliation is, just start doing something about it.
