It's 100% settled in their minds no matter what.

Robbie: There is overwhelming proof that the climate is warming up, that it will have terrible consequences, and that most of it is being created by man.
It is the deniers, the republicans, the morons, the religious nut jobs, who have it settled in their minds that it is not happening, their heads forever buried in the sand.
The article that the OP posted is written by James Taylor, a Kock Brother funded asshole.

Really? That's your argument? Consider this then: Those "dumb people" also warned against the dangers of acid rain, remember that? Did you forget that it wasn't until the problem got so out of control that the governments finally did something about it, reduced the chemicals that caused it, and today Acid Rain is on the decline.

And what if you're wrong? Then what? Loss of life (human, animal, sea), stronger storms, rising sea levels, etc. All terrible tragedies that can be avoided or at least reduced, but instead, big oil is trying to convince you otherwise, and you're buying it.

This isn't the issue. The issue is that the earth, right now, is in danger of getting much warmer, much faster. Don't worry about a million years from now. Worry about 50 years from now, and the earth you are leaving your kids and grandkids.
