Climate changes anyway, so why do anything about it? People die anyway, so who cares what causes AIDS?
Call it "climate science denialism" if you prefer. It's no different from AIDS denialism.
Thabo Mbeki, President of South Africa in 1999-2008, listened to the denialists' views about the AIDS outbreak. He had an AIDS advisory panel staffed with consensus critics -- just like Trump and Pruitt are doing. The estimated number of premature deaths due to Mbeki's counterproductive actions is around 300,000.
