Great point. Finding consensus on a solution is problematic.

I was referring to people who deny that climate change is even real. I would love to get to the stage of debating how to fix things, instead of being stuck in the stage of complete denial.



Climate change or anthropogenic climate change is a starting point for this issue.

We have had climate change since day one of earth. We can see it in the charts, data, etc. the issue is how much impact do the humans contribute?

If people were serious about carbon footprint, nuclear power plants would be built. But we are not serious, instead we have grifting policies that lead to wasted solutions: Solyndra, wind farms, solar farms, etc.

Then on top of all of this, the people in charge find ways to encourage coal, look at how Germany and the rest of the first worlds tried to bankrupt Pakistan by driving up the price of natural gas. Pakistan, China, and every country who saw that are going with coal.

The people who say climate denialism should not be tolerated are not serious about what they propose, because their solutions are not based in reality.
