I just love it that everyone is saying things like:

"And yes, it is my opinion that climate change is absolutely happening" .

The level of fear in stating simple opinions has gone to 11.

I know. Unfortunately, as you have alluded to, if I don't say that, I'll be accused of being a climate change denier by somebody.

But what's wrong with that? People don't mind being called a cognitive priming denier or whatever. Treating it like an insult adds power to its effect.

It's not how one treats it, it's how one is treated when this insult is used.

No possible discussion follows. All opinions, however tame, are outcast.
