Climate change deniers lie about everything all the time, they can't do anything else.
Google Company stops funding ALEC over climate change denial.

"FIRST ELDER
No. I'm sorry, Jor-El, but the decision of

JOR-EL
(leaning forward, passionately)

(gesturing toward the

It's suicide! Worse than that, it's genocide.
FIRST ELDER
Jor-El, Be warned. This tone of
yours approaches insolence.
JOR-EL
(a more reasonable tone)
My friends, I am not a rash, impulsive person.
I'm not given to wild, unsupported statements.
We must evacuate this planet immediately!
FIRST ELDER
You are one of Krypton's greatest
scientists Jor-El -
JOR-EL

FIRST ELDER
But so is Vond-El
VOND-EL
Thank you...
(to Jor-El)
And it isn't that we question
your data. The facts are undeniable.
(gesturing towards the
figures inside the table)
It's your conclusions we find
insupportable
JOR-EL
(excited)
I tell you this planet will
explode in thirty days.
VOND-EL
And I tell you that Krypton is simply
shifting its orbit
JOR-EL
You ask me to stand by while every man ,
woman, and child are destroyed.

Then as expected, Krypton blows up. I just hope that in our case, life doesn't imitate art...
