Denialism And Climate Change

George Monbiot writes in the Guardian regarding the climate change denialists' imperviousness to reason. His opening gives some flavor of the wonderful prose within:

"There is no point in denying it: we’re losing. Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease. It exists in a sphere which cannot be reached by evidence or reasoned argument; any attempt to draw attention to scientific findings is greeted with furious invective. This sphere is expanding with astonishing speed."
