Honestly what should we learn from people who are opposed to scientific reality? The only thing we need to learn is how we make the opinions of those people irrelevant. (Which is a really hard problem, as decades of inaction about climate show.)

The idea of using CO2 emissions control as a form of social control doesn't sound crazy at all to me. Without knowing anything else, I'd assume it was a valid concern at least worth discussing, and I'd assume that anyone unwilling to at discuss it reasonably is probably a malicious and dishonest person with selfish motives who should not be trusted.
You're just proving my point. You clearly have not had a real discussion with anyone who disagrees with your presumptions about the relative importance of emissions control. Your opponent is not a real person, it's a conservative stereotype (about a completely unrelated topic, no less).
Discussing the dis-appearance of the dinosaurs (let's say some 6'000 years (minus 6 days) ago) could be a cool discussion. Another one is of course the return of that badly dressed hippie. For about 2'000 years, excuses have been/to be made up to explain why he didn't turn up yet, but it can be every day now, make sure to hail the lord. Anyway, if we could ever use a helping hand, then it would be now, but the bugger is not on Facebook it seems. Haile Selassie was a better bet, but alas, not enough likes [like this post won't get many, wdic].
