well pete, strangely there are some who are too savvy to be flat earthers or creationists but strangely have declared themselves climate change cynics.. it's hard to fathom, but conspiracy theories are appealing, and the anti-climate change companies have presented climate change info as being another attempt by left whingers to subvert the dominant paradigm.

when politics overrides science, and when dogmatists masquerade as scientists, things get messy. but the truth is out there :-D
