As for me, I shamelessly downvote most comments promoting climate denialism, because (1) it's wrong, and (2) it's not going to be productive (people have been having the same discussion for 10+ years), and (3) in order to have any productive discussion on the climate, people have to agree on basic shared facts. I'm not interested in the 700th rehash of whether the sun explains global warming. And no, we've been having "But science requires skepticism!" debate for 10+ years as well. I can literally hear both sides' argument in my head, there's no point in repeating it. Sometimes my inner keyboard warrior gets the better of me and I end up replying to these comments instead of downvoting, but in retrospect, I think I'm doing this community a disservice by amplifying the noise.
