Labeling People ‘Climate Change Deniers’ Merely Reveals the Attacker’s Ignorance

Unpopular Opinion:

I'm a climate change skeptic

I'm not a denier, but often find myself being attacked for asking questions. If there were convincing arguments wouldn't they be using those instead of calling me names and shaming me? Who does this?

What can we infer about a person that labels others a 'climate change denier'?

  • They use intimidation and personal attacks of character
  • They might be perfectly okay with 'climate change deniers' being imprisoned or punished severely
  • They probably accept as truth stories from the media about scientific consensus
  • They most likely care about the environment very much
  • They might be scared and susceptible to being misled about climate change

The following was written in 2012 but it's still relevant today..

yup..I love it when they do that.
They're informing me whether to take them seriously or not.

What is your opinion?

He has to accept the Global warming is real as if not then Mankind wont live for more than 300 years .

Where I come from the daily temperature swing is 40 degrees.
why should I be concerned about 1/4 degree (more or less) increase in a decade?

That article is classic alarmist propaganda

some of the people who have flagged you, i thought were smarter than that. don't worry about them. just keep asking questions.
it is kind of funny that the points you raise here are exactly what people are doing in comments and flagging.
