Hall of Shame or Hall of Fame? – Part 2
When is a Climate-Denier not a Denier?

Do you consider the following statement to be a) true, b) controversial, or c) false?
The climate has been changing from the dawn of time. The climate will change as long as we have a planet Earth.
If you answered a) then you should hang your head in shame and go to the bottom of the climate-denial stairs. I’m not sure about b), but only c) would allow you to burnish your credentials and hold your head up with pride. The statement was uttered by Senator Ted Cruz, and was enough to see him labelled a climate denier by both the Guardian and the Center for American Progress (CAP). The former recently published an article about a report by the latter.
Where do you stand on this?
I think many scientists would debate the percentage of what is attributable to man versus normal fluctuations.
I’m afraid if you didn’t bridle at such outrageous denialism, then that probably makes you a denier. Just like Senator Marco Rubio, who had the audacity to say it.
