Climate science the target in a culture war | Climate Hoax Promoter Clive Hamilton
No matter how much journalists and commentators protest that they do not support threats and violence, if what they write repeatedly incites those kinds of attack then they have to take responsibility.
...
When Morano singles out a climate scientist for attack on his website he includes their email addresses and invites his followers to “get in touch”. Many of them do, with death threats.
...
Like those whose opinions they value – shock jocks and television demagogues – climate deniers are disproportionately older, white, male and conservative; those who feel their cultural identity most threatened by the implications of climate change.
While the debate is superficially about the science, in truth it is about deep-rooted feelings of cultural identity. This makes deniers immune to argument. Their influence will wane only as they grow old and die.

If only he knew that the presently young people will become old. The finer points of mortality elude him...
Global warming to melt the Earth. Elderly white male conservatives hardest hit?
You don't see that everyday do ya,
ecofascist warmists have ALREADY KILLED MILLIONS, from unemployment and hunger by ethanol etc subsidies.
The lead...."Deniers tend to be more experienced, better educated and endowed with the courage to speak truth to propoganda"....just doesn't have the same generation emotive effect you warmist want. Warmists keep promoting an 'age based' genocide that does not seem to materialize. What next....outlaw CARBON and OLD AGE ?
[may you grow old in the freezing darkness of your dreams]
