I think the first thing that one has to realize about these people is that they are scientifically illiterate. The second is that, for them, ideology always trumps reality. So they will make up whatever 'facts' that seem to support their denial at the moment.
This is very much connected to what we see happening in the Gulf. We have the chief denier of reality claiming that nature will magically take care of the oil, even as the wildlife and estuaries are dying. They were busy screaming "Drill, baby, Drill", but now that the drillers have been shown to be criminally incompetant, seek to lay this catastrophe at the doorstep of the current admin.
And when the ineviteable adrupt climate change arrives, they will lay the blame on the scientists for not successfully comminicating the magnitude of the changes. But, for now, these cretins are calling those same scientists "Lying Alarmists".
It has always been the same. There are a certain percentage of people that are unteachable. In past times, this trait led to an early demise on their part. History will probably repeat itself, unfortunately.
