In a mystifying attempt to turn the tables on science itself, Fox News is trying to reclaim the term “climate deniers” to refer to people who accept the preponderance of evidence confirming manmade climate change and support action to limit its impacts.
On Friday’s edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy promoted National Review Editor Rich Lowry’s attempts to paint “advocates of limits on carbon emissions” as “deniers.” Doocy proclaimed that based on our carbon emissions “you would think it would be 900 degrees right now on planet Earth, but instead over the past 15 years or so, we have been flat temperature-wise”:
So now climate “deniers” are people who deny that there is no climate crisis? Will this work? Who knows? But Rich Lowry is out there trying:

I don’t have the energy to unpack that in any detail, but you can click the link and it’s all there. Meanwhile, this spells out the idiocy quite well:
