by I spent about a month arguing with the climate change deniers on twitter. Many were professional deniers who were extremely well versed in their arguments. I was lucky as I had a number of people on my side, including some climatologists. In that period, though, I learnt a lot about how the denier mind works.I follow a number of left-wingers on twitter who, like me, question 9/11, the Syrian war, Russiagate, the Skripal poisoning, etc, but when I found out that many these people were climate change deniers I was shocked. Now, recently, I have discovered that many of them are also anti-vax, Bill Gates, 5g, Covid-19 conspiracists, and that includes Richard Werner, someone I really like. This left me reevaluating my own conspiracy questions as I could not believe a word of these people

Anyway, this video clip is from London Real, which has 1.8m subscribers. David Fuller of Rebel Wisdom pointed this out. The feeling I get from twitter is that this is how many of the alt-left (as I call them) and their libertarian compatriots feel. They are totally charged up and very angry. They are inside an echo chamber where they keep repeating this nonsense, but there are academics on board too, like Professor Piers Morgan and Professor Richard Werner, although it's doubtful they would approve of this video. This has gone overboard.
