Right. The vast majority of people rejecting global warming are doing it for irrational reasons.
But Twitters rule would also exclude earnest differences of opinions. During law school, my class had a talk that included a tenured climate scientist at our university (a major research institution). He had a non-census view of climate change that predicted warming 25-50% less than UN models. A bunch of law professors came and read him the riot act for DENYING SCIENCE. It was crazy. That's exactly the type of censorship big tech is engaging in.

No they are doing it for rational reasons from the perspective of an individual but presenting irrational arguments for their position. For any given individual the impact of climate change is going to be irrelevant in western countries. Worst case, you just move somewhere else. However, on a societal scale, having a mass of people migrate from one place to another is a recipe for chaos.
