Peace.Dos @peaceart.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I just saw a guy who twitted constantly the same text about searching any city temperature record to see if change was rapid.

Oddness @oddn3ss.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Which would all be completely fine, assuming that the person doing the denying could do so without feeling a need to convert others. What is it with people, and needing others to think as they do? Not science deniers in particular. Just... in general... 130

petercracknell.bsky.social @petercracknell.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Why aren't climate deniers persuaded by the science? Because their beliefs are a way to get what they really want, which is attention and recognition and to be listened to, or to be loved. e.g. Why did the young man stop being a climate denier? He got a girlfriend. 000
mrdubyadee.bsky.social @mrdubyadee.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Ted Kaczynski's manifesto is a perfect example of being extremely logical but starting from a false premise. It's why denialists and conspiracy theorists can sound logical while spewing bs. 010

Pissed-Off Scientist @rockney.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Cclimate change denial comes in two forms. One comes from this excellent chart. The other is GREED and simply lying because of the fascist belief in PROFIT over all other considerations. Big Oil has known about it for decades - and lies constantly. Stephen Hawking was right. Humanity is doomed. 030

Valentenya the climate policy strategy cat 🍉 🐈⬛ @valentenya.bsky.social · 11/12/2024As a movement we need to get better at socially shaming science denial.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/12/2024People really refuse to apply this to themselves, which is the most important thing.

redtriplane.bsky.social @redtriplane.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I have a degree in science myself, believe that process is our only chance, but from the outside, it seems as if scientists don't think their results are important or solid enough to sell their truths like they deserve to be sold. 100
redtriplane.bsky.social @redtriplane.bsky.social · 12/12/2024And how about the constant vacillation in diet advice? If scientists can't narrow down the basics there, just how useful can the discipline be? Where's the evidence science can't be bought? 100
redtriplane.bsky.social @redtriplane.bsky.social · 12/12/2024This is ok as far as it goes, but people are often not as dumb as they seem. They may dislike the rigor it takes to do good science, but they notice the venality of scientists when they're paid to show tobacco is harmless, for example. 100

Philip Machanick 🇿🇦 @philip-mach.bsky.social · 10/12/2024The biggest factor I observe: response to evidence contradicting your claims. Scientist or genuine skeptic: re-evaluate your claims. Denier: change the explanation of your claims – and stick to them no matter what. 040

Pqsheedy @pqsheedy.bsky.social · 10/12/2024There are two arguments against stopping climate change: one - it’s fake which is a belief system not based on science, and two - it’s too late to do anything which is a fatalist “why do anything” argument. They’re both wrong. 040
