A nice piece by Lawrence Krauss
"Skepticism is all about critical examination, evidence-based scientific inquiry, and the use of reason in examining controversial claims. Those who flatly deny the results of climate science do not partake in any of the above. They base their conclusions on a priori convictions. Theirs is an ideological conviction—the opposite of skepticism"

Thoughts? It shouldn't matter if you are right/left/conservative/liberal whatever. Science is science and even though it's not perfect, it's still the best way we have at arriving at the truth. In my mind, climate deniers are in the same boat as evolution deniers or those who deny that smoking causes cancer.
