Interesting letter in The Independent this morning about climate change.

The contributor pointed out the recent UK floods etc and asked what deniers of climate change had to say? The interesting part was a throwaway line that said that society learned to stop taking creationists seriously a long time ago, so why do we still entertain climate change deniers? Both can be dangerous in their own way if we take them seriously.

Not wanting to thread drift to climate change, but interesting to read a view that nobody takes creationists seriously, and puts them in the same cave as the bogey man, Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. On a subject nothing to do with superstition, but using them as an extreme example of talking bollocks and craving respectability.
