Poll: Should Deniers Be Allowed To Post In E&E?

[LouisvilleDem]

53. Deniers no, but what about luke warmers?

The more I learn, the more I'm beginning to understand the validity of the lukewarmer position. I've spent a fair amount of time reading Judith Curry's blog and it's hard to argue with many of the points she makes. Her own journey from being a global warming alarmist to a luke warmer was clearly driven by the evidence, not any shift in her politics.

That being said, my own personal experience in this forum is that any challenge to the "climate change will kill us all" mindset is met with derision and calls for your banning. Personally I think that people that claim the human race will become extinct within 50 years because of climate change are anti-science. There certainly isn't any peer reviewed literature to support that position, and yet people are allowed to post that kind of drivel regularly in EE. We are (rightly, IMHO) banning climate-deniers for being anti-science. My question is, why are we not banning people expressing extreme climate doom for the exact same thing?
