This is in fact, actually your challen...(continued)<br />This is in fact, actually your challenge as you deal with skeptics and deniers. It's not just climate change that they are rejecting, they are rejecting the real world too. They live in a fearful fantasy of reactionary decision making and imagined "enemies" that are allegedly colluding to destroy them. Any attempt to bring them back from the brink of self-destruction will need to understand that they are mentally ill and will require a lot of time, patience, education and support. However, most do not want to be cured or shown that their delusions are false and will instead stubbornly cling to their worldviews as reality.<br /><br />Finally, I do not consider them harmless. There is a growing danger to the world and humanity that must be considered and why I am speaking up. Many are embracing a "personal Armegeddon" event / crisis whereby they will react with violence against all others. They have been preparing for this for many years. There is also the fact that all of humanity is now being affected by climate change.
