  1. @ProPublica Please don't name it "sceptic" following the far-right #narrative. You can call them what they are: #denialists / #deniers!
    It's like with climate change, a scientific fact. If you don't accept science, you are a #denialist. Being #sceptic is for ideologies, cults, or religions.

  6. One common feature of various anti-science ideologies is that their adherents lack a sense of scale. #FlatEarthers don’t understand distance, #creationists don’t understand time, #climate change #denialists don’t understand levels of emissions or rate of temperature change, #antivaxers don’t understand population morbidity and mortality. Probably other types of looniness with which I’m less familiar have the same underlying problem.

    In a way I sympathize with this, because the numbers are so far outside normal human experience. But learn the #math and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense. We’re not talking about anything particularly advanced. Just grasp that intution breaks down when measuring something very large or very small.
