I've met many climate change deniers, both in real life and online. They used to be very thick on the ground on sites like this one and particularly on Slashdot. (Ugh, remember "Climategate?) It has been something of a pleasure watching them gradually disappear from sites with more thoughtful readers. Sadly, the reason they're disappearing is because boldfaced climate denial doesn't fly with reasonably intelligent HN folks anymore, given what we can see with our own eyes.

The smarter new ones have switched away from rants about "AGW" and scientists being untrustworthy. They now tell us climate change won't be that bad and we can "adapt."
