And the climate lobby eats itself with runaway propoganda. But more interesting, the polar opposites of the climate drama seem to agree on a lot of things.

Fascinating that the Doomers and Denialists both seem to agree that it is not technoligaly/economicly/politically possible to INFLUENCE climate in a meaningful way through policy in the real world.

Or how about Doomers and Denialists agreeing that Society is going to collapse? One through action (costly climate initiatives), the other through inaction (eco collapse leading to societal collapse)

The existence and political power of denialists is the best reason to be a doomer, but instead most doomers seem to just be taken in by some of the deniers talking points.
