So why again are climate change skeptics/deniers so threatening, if their views are so kooky? I mean, half the submissions on /r/science are completely off the mark and probably make most of the authors facepalm, anyway.
Their message has legs which obviously is very disturbing to those who are pushing The Truth. It always has been, not only in this field. Even worse, lies tend to age very badly. It´s a desperate situation.
