Yeah, denialism is definitely one way to keep one's mood up. The problem is that we, and our children, have to live in the resulting world, and that reality will be worse if we don't act today.

Similarly, our children will be burdened by the public debt and regulatory policies enacted in the name of climate doom.

This much is guaranteed, regardless of if the oft-cited apocalypse comes to fruition.

The great thing about debt is, everybody will be dead and no one will care about some number in some powered-off data center showing negative balance.

There's no point saying "denialism" when it comes to talking about the data. You might as well just be saying "your tribe stupid my tribe good".

Who is talking about data in this thread? Someone made a half dig at it. Haven't seen any data yet. Other than the article. The bit about the hottest 12 months. Which seems pretty uncontroversial to me.

> Haven't seen any data yet

That's because tribalism entered the chat, instead of a question about sources for the claim
