"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Climate change deniers dont give a fuck if the science backs them up or not.
What motivates them is stuborn ignorance.

When I'm told the CIA working with the Mafia shot the guy who wrote the real report on climate change with a missile loaded on a 747 from a movie set that was used for the moon landings, I find it curiously compelling.

I'm sure the few remaining polar bears will breathe a sigh of relief.
