Seriously? This is HN, there are plenty of climate skeptics here, and I would guess that 0-5% of them listen to Rush Limbaugh or similar. Perhaps they are simply people with a scientific mind and came to different conclusions after evaluating the evidence independently?

The word "simply" sadly does not apply to climate modelling, reaching conclusions simply usually means lots of confirmation bias, and a foregone output. How do you know there are plenty of any opinion on HN?

He's projecting his own skepticism onto others; assuming since he reached his conclusion "many others" must have as well.

No, I'm pretty sure they are all listening to Rush Limbaugh or similar characters as there is no-one else in the world thinking this to be true. If you follow all their links, they all converge to a few right wing, US based, sources.
I know this is a broad generalisation, but in this case, I believe it to be true.

Seriously. Of the ones whose media habits I've found, it's always like that.
That doesn't apply to HN. I rarely if ever figure out what the commenters here are watching or listening to. But I would be surprised if they were much different.
