Curry just said the solution to global warming is ... more air conditioning. Air condition the world. I think it's her willingness to be so damn stupid that makes her a hero to the deniers. Birds of a feather.
This is a good time to bring up the third paper by Lewandowsky and Cook on the conspiratorial nature of deniers. Deniers, you know what you have to do. Scream at the publishers and threaten to sue. Do that thug thing you do so well, then crow "the paper was retracted!", even though it was simply published elsewhere, then instantly flip about and declare you're the ones being silenced.

Conspiratorial thinking tends to fall into one of these 7 categories. When you're bored, go through the denier arguments here and put them into each category.
1. Questionable Motives (QM): Assuming that the presumed conspirators have nefarious intentions.
2. Persecuted Victim (PV): Self-identifying as the victim of an organized persecution.
3. Overriding Suspicion (OS): Refusing to believe anything that doesn't fit into the conspiracy theory.
4. Nothing Occurs by Accident (NOBA): Weaving any random event into the conspiracy narrative.
5. Something Must Be Wrong (SMBW): Switching liberally between different, even contradictory conspiracy theories that have in common only the presumption that there is something wrong in the official account by the alleged conspirators.
6. Self-Sealing Reasoning (SSR): Interpreting any evidence against the conspiracy as evidence for the conspiracy.
7. Unreflexive Counterfactual Thinking (UCT): Deliberately living in a fantasy world, even after the fantasy has been debunked.
