There is one, and you used it: people.

The closest thing minds have to an immune system is disbelieving anything that their enemies want them to think. That's a painful path to start down when you're trying to convince.

Nobody is denying global warming – people are skeptical of the specific causes and suggested remedies. More than that, they are skeptical of the people who propose such remedies and their political motivations. It isn’t about climate – anyone that believes that isn’t paying attention.

There was a lot of “settled science” around eugenics too – so excuse us for being distrustful of economically motivated solutions that feature some form of redistribution at the core. Everyone has an agenda. Suggesting that climate change activists are purely altruistic isn’t supported by fact. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-03/un-official-admits-...

What? The science is very clear that it's real and requires drastic action to prevent.

One woman is not the entire global scientific community and environmentalist movement.

Look, I do get disappointed when the far left tries to co-opt the conversation about global warming and shoehorn other issues into the subject. I get that. But it doesn't make it any less real and the changes needed to fight it any less drastic.

One woman as quoted out of context in a conspiracy blog, at that.
