- creaghpatr 8y agoThere are plenty of pragmatists ready to endorse actionable climate initiatives that don't involve the transfer of wealth and sovereignty of the US to a collective ruling body like the UN. But when we encounter someone who slurs the opposition with the 'denier' label, it's unconvincing that your interests are truly with improving the climate rather than proving a political point.
- m_mueller 8y agoIt's one thing to see climate management as a fight between nations or political parties, but it's another to claim that climate is not a problem we should care about at all. The latter stance is IMO prevalent in current USGov - I'd love to be proven wrong though. If this holds then I don't see how the 'denier' label doesn't fit.
