That quote is pretty hardcore. William F. Buckley probably returned from the dead just to die again over it.
I do think you can make a reasonable separation between climate science and proposed solutions to the problem (as many climate scientists do). A lot of climate proposals, like paying off China and India to not develop their infrastructure until we can develop clean-energy alternatives to sell to them, are quite silly.
This is in the nature of proposals of any kind, obviously, but the current form of the GOP will never pass up an opportunity to deny a problem exists because the solution created to deal with it is not optimal. The healthcare bill made that clear.
