What I find baffling is what motivation climate change deniers imagine scientists to have in “inventing” global climate change.
Creationists at least have a psychology I can apprehend. They think atheistic scientists want to be free of God's moral strictures, and have thus invented an argument that we're only animals. That's stupid, but is at least a belief in a meaningful motivation for their opponents.
But climate change deniers don't even seem to have that.
BTW, I am embarrassed that I've never been exposed to the idea of simple land value taxation. It's an intriguing concept.
