I find denialism in all forms simply fascinating. I wonder if you could indulge my curiosity.

This is a truly impressive bit of sophistry. You have succeeded in phrasing your objection in a manner such that a casual observer, unfamiliar with the topic under discussion, would think that you were being completely sincerely intellectually curious, while at the same time employing a coded epithet unmistakable to those already inclined to agree with you. This is a very common tactic, but I have rarely seen it done so skillfully. Bravo sir!

Now leave and go do it someplace else. This is lesswrong, not realclimate
