Climate Deniers Intimidate Journal into Retracting Paper that Finds They Believe Conspiracy Theories

(*A note here on the use of the term “denier”. Denial is defined as “a refusal to accept that something unpleasant or painful is true” – eg. “The patient is still in denial.” No fewer than 97% of climate scientists now endorse the scientific consensus on the reality, causes and significant risks associated with climate change. The term “climate change denier” or “climate denier” describes an individual who rejects the science of climate change and the considerable body of evidence on which it is based. It has no further meaning or connotation beyond this.)
