Global Warming denialists doubling down


I knew it would happen. Since the research that found that you can persuade people to an opinion by exposing them to a lot of statements supporting that opinion, there has been an avalanche of global warming denialist in comments on popular web sites. It would be interesting to know how many are from the same person under different names, being paid by fossil fuel companies.

I had already seen an increase in denialist comments as the effects of global warming are becoming more apparent, with business leaders (even some in the fossil fuel industry) saying it is a problem that needs to be dealt with, and more people are understanding that it is a problem.
