It’s Not You, It’s Denialism
Have you ever wondered why climate change deniers are so adamant and so anti-science? It’s inexplicable. It almost seems like a cult or an ideology. Yet even some scientists are in the group of deniers. In that case, it’s got to be some mind-set based on some type of preconceived worldview. The man pictured above is David Bellamy, and he is a a global warming denier, (or a complete fraud who wants a TV show). (Read about him here). He’s also a botonist who looks a bit like Santa Claus. I point him out because he’s one of the worst loudmouths, in England anyway, and a thorn in the side of everyone trying to do something positive to help stop climate change. Maybe by studying the worst of the Deniers, we can understand how to prevent such people from developing in the future.
George Monbiot has a good article on Bellamy and this problem here.
