I assume [as always when people adopt such strategies] that they don't have anything, which they never do. I assume they see part of a big picture but not the whole, a trend they project in a straight line instead of reversion to the mean. I also assume that there are unspoken (perhaps unrecognized) agendas. Change is worrisome, and yet, we adapt. Here in the US we have a concept called "NIMBY" - Not In My Back Yard. Even if we think change is a Good Thing, we don't want it intruding into our own personal bailiwicks. Universal, I think. Example: evolution is a Good Thing. Mutants (e.g., walking fish) are horrifying.

"Denier" is the term they apply to themselves. In fact, there is "GW denier" thread on SI. Check it out: Subject 57200 And Rush Limbaugh (who I am sure you are familiar with), uses the term for himself. As do many others in that camp. So, sorry, but your attempt to plead victimhood fails. Do you plead victimhood often? And your "theory" is simply your opinion, as a theory implies scientific evidence and published studies. Please provide citations to these scientific studies and we'll take you seriously (hint: you find these in refereed scientific journals, not in random posts of jpeg charts or Exxon white papers). Do that and you'll be serious. Until then you're just some old guy blowing smoke.
