The University of West England is hosting a major conference on
climate change 'denial'.

"The idea that 'climate change denial' is a psychological disorder
- the product of a spiteful, wilful or simply in-built neural
inability to face up to the catastrophe of global warming - is
becoming more and more popular amongst green-leaning activists and
academics. And nothing better sums up the elitism and
authoritarianism of the environmentalist lobby than its
psychologisation of dissent. The labelling of any criticism of the
politics of global warming, first as 'denial', and now as evidence
of mass psychological instability, is an attempt to write off all
critics and sceptics as deranged, and to lay the ground for
inevitable authoritarian solutions to the problem of climate
change. Historically, only the most illiberal and misanthropic
regimes have treated disagreement and debate as signs of mental
ill-health. "

Your point being what exactly?

The point being that the greenies are so convinced of their beliefs
that they consider anyone who disagrees with them must be mentally
unstable. I would have thought that obvious if you had read the article
FFS.

No, I didn't bother reading it. I just wondered whether you had a
point to make, or were you just saying 'I agree with this'.

Clearly the latter.

And what exactly was your point?
