But those are climate change deniers.
The stages of denial are denying that the problem exists, admitting it exists but denying we're responsible, admitting we're responsible but denying anything need be done, admitting something need be done but saying it's too late.... and so on. All of these different excuses are put forth by the same people on different days of the week and as the needs of the current argument demand. We saw the same thing with cigarette makers, leaded gasoline makers, or any other public health issue.
It's just a blizzard of justifications for why humans shouldn't do anything about the Earth getting 5-6-7-8 degrees C warmer so that my transnational corporation can keep making money now. They're all climate change deniers.
