Question

Does one side calling the other "unscientific" and "denialist" and "deniers" convince anyone to believe them?

Answer 1

Sometimes it seems that that is the main argument.  We are deniers.  They are the scientific consensus, etc.  When that is a cornerpiece of your argument, it shows that its foundations are pretty shaky.

Answer 2

Possibly if people only hear one side of the story - like if you spend a lot of time on university campuses and tend to watch media with a left wing bias.  

For some people, it's possible for them to believe that there really are a mob of deniers out there, rather than rational intelligent people who have formed well thought out opinions because they just haven't met any.

Answer 3

To label your opposition as deniers of the truth is the very tactic religious tyrants have used to suppress free speech and scientific method since before history began. I am proud that my ancestors were brave enough to stand tall against tyrants of this type for at least a thousand years and probably more. Many died at the hands of the kings, popes and other oppressors of freedom, but others lived on to pass down the concept of never bending ones knee to a tyrant, but only to god himself if he happens to come around and present himself with sufficient proof of his identity. Faith alone is never enough to accept the lies of tyrants or would be tyrants by.

The problem with the religious faithful that are promoting the agenda of the billionaires Club of Rome is that because they have no real and documented facts to back their fictional conclusions with they need to resort to terrorist tactics like their Islamic brethren. Bob and Dana like the rest of their religious brotherhood engage in intimidation tactics to frighten and oppress those who do not have either the education or nerve to face them down with facts.

Like their hero Al Gore they produce an agenda first and then phony up some quasi scientific fictional supporting material to prove their point. When real scientists and knowledgeable people point out the supporting data is neither true or scientific they then resort to their normal fall back tactic of threats and verbal abuse, even going to the if you do not shut up we will report you to mama and get your ID banned tactic.

This is a very normal tactic of the National Socialist and Communist religions and it is also a true and normal tactic of any religion that claims to be the one and only true way to salvation. Any religious/political organization that practices this is only intended as a means of separating the suckers from their money with the least physical effort on the part of the person running con as possible.

Answer 4

Only if it is the truth

Answer 5

No it shouldn't but people are stupid
