   I guess this blurs the lines between ‘us and them’ ;)?

   Nicely researched – wonderfully executed!

   Of course the original study doesn’t articulate that conclusion quite so tidily 🙂 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3703523/

   Needless to say, the original researchers were presuppositionally neutral, and had a complete understanding (on which we all agree) of what is ‘rational’ and ‘normal’. 🙂

   Shut up, Climate Denialist!!!

   “Journalists using the ‘denialist’ label demean their profession,”Mr. Spencer said in an email.

   Pushback on the NYT over “denialist”
   Anthony Watts / 1 day ago February 22, 2019

   “…The headline prompted a backlash from those who object to applying a derogatory label associated with Holocaust disbelief to scientists and others who challenge worst-case climate-change scenarios.

   Among those who bristled at the term was Roy Spencer, University of Alabama in Huntsville principal research scientist, NASA U.S. Science Team leader, and author of Amazon bestsellers such as “Inevitable Disaster: Why Hurricanes Can’t Be Blamed on Global Warming” (2017).

   “Journalists using the ‘denialist’ label demean their profession,”

   Mr. Spencer said in an email. “None of the prominent skeptical scientists I know deny some level of recent warming, or humans as a contributing cause.”

   “It is a blanket condemnation of an individual so as to avoid discussing the substance of a person’s views on the issue,” said Mr. Pielke, who holds a Ph.D. in meteorology. “It is intended to denigrate someone.

   I would add that “climate denier” is against the rules of the Associated Press Stylebook. Clearly, NYT and Coral Davenport wanted to denigrate…”
