Climate denial often pinballs between five different stages, but
the cleverer denialist arguments tend to land on Stage 3: denial
that climate change is a problem.<br>
It’s ironic that Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson – CEO
of ExxonMobil – has the most sophisticated position on climate
change among Trump’s key nominees. Tillerson accepts that humans
are causing global warming, but he denies that it’s a problem.
His key argument focuses on sowing doubt about the accuracy of
climate models.<br>

style="font-weight: normal;">climate-change</b><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>denialism—or whether it
will continue to muddle through on the issue, ..<br>
The meeting revealed a quasi-generational split. Many scientists
continue to act like aloof and methodical professionals. They
want to provide sound data and quietly advocate for good
policies. When the profession is threatened, they will advocate
for funding, but they will also respond to Trump like academic
actuaries, sighing deeply and then getting on with their
work....<br>
Another group recognizes that a key fact of modern scientific
understanding—that the Earth’s climate is warming, thanks to the
industrial burning of fossil fuels—has unfortunately become a
central political issue of the era. They see it as their duty to
correct the record, and they will respond to attacks on
scientific fact as activists would: by organizing protests,
educating the public, and shaming their local governments and
national representatives into action.<br>
...If they so chose, climate scientists could become an
incredibly powerful constituency. The climate-change movement
has a well-distributed expert network already—if those experts
so choose. Nothing stops climate scientists from talking to
local churches or high schools nearby them, from sharing the
story of climate science in a straightforward and
non-condescending way. Nothing stops them from organizing
protests. Nothing stops them for calling for local policies to
mitigate catastrophic climate change...<br>
Many climate scientists want to go about their lives focusing
intently on their work and getting the research done. It is a
laudable and pleasant dream. The problem is, climate denialists
know that, in this fallen world, it really is just a dream—and
they will exploit it until climate scientists engage.<br>

<blockquote> <font size="-1">December 28, 2007: In a Washington
Post op-ed, Bill McKibben, citing a recent speech by NASA
scientist James Hansen, states that the worldwide CO2 level must
remain below 350 parts per million to avoid catastrophic global
warming. Further, McKibben writes: "Hansen [has] called for an
immediate ban on new coal-fired power plants that don't capture
carbon, the phaseout of old coal-fired generators, and a tax on
carbon high enough to make sure that we leave tar sands and oil
shale in the ground. To use the medical analogy, we're not
talking statins to drop your cholesterol; we're talking huge
changes in every aspect of your daily life."</font><br>
