They should be congratulated for their efforts - just as we un-deniers, non-deniers,anti-deniers need to be told to do better and pull up our socks.
Its quite a battle out there: for every GREENIE WATCH there is a WATCHING THE DENIERS.
(Both blogs as it just so happens, are from Australia.)
My stance on denial is a little off the mainline, IMHO , because it is a little deeper, a little bit more fundamental.
I am after the WHIGGISH majority among the scientists operating in the world of Popular Science (science outside the Beltway of Peer-review) : which at some time or other includes almost all scientists, however defined.
Limit-deniers: sunnily dismissing any belief that ultimately humanity might never know everything there is to know about reality.
Panglossians.
Today they deny that man's efforts to change the climate could ever go 'out-of-control' (ie , of the control of Man and into the control of Mother Nature).
Tomorrow they will deny that it makes more sense to recycle the refined common metals we already use here on Earth than it is to mine them from asteroids.
Their denials of limits or restraint upon Man's abilities are , characteristically, limitless.....
Well said. Limits and a common sense
