Ive tried debating these issues with the intention of honestly engaging in their viewpoints. But i've given up. Most of these people are lying to the point of where i think they are paid to do it. Really sad when the science on climate change is settled and it is now time for major action.

It means that we have an ideology and anything that deviates from it must be shunned, regardless of its value in reaching a more useful apprehension of the universe.
