Denying reality: the irony of global warming denial in one simple phrase<\/h3>\n

Climate change (global warming, global climate disruption, it doesn’t matter what you call it<\/em>) has become such an idealogical and political football that some who claim they “don’t believe in global warming<\/a>” seem to have lost sight of one immutable fact. Global warming doesn’t need anyone’s belief.<\/p>\n

But would climate change still exist even if every God-fearing inhabitant on Earth denied its existence? Yes it would – as it laps at our disbelief, laughing at the irony of it all.<\/p>\n
