Well, Bill D, I don't want to interfere with you amazing magnum opus (correct, since opus third declension, neuter) postings, which are some of Mudcat's best entertainment, but you used a rhetorical trick by suggesting that someone who refues to accept the theory of "climate change" is a denier, just like a smoker or an alcoholic et al is a denier, therefore he is wrong.

The fact is that these cases have their own facts and must be judged separately on factual evidence. You can't get away with suggesting that "he believes that smoking is not bad for your health therefore his belief that 'global warming' is also a fraud is wrong".
