Shall we inform Mr. Jello what’s wrong with global warming skeptics?

I see that since he has blocked most of the top answerers in this section, Mr. Jello has only received 5 answers so far to his question about what’s wrong with skeptics. I figure we should let everyone answer this question.
My answer is that of course there’s nothing wrong with healthy skepticism. On the contrary - everyone should be skeptical of all information and independently verify it. Skepticism is crucial in science.
However, people like Mr. Jello are not skeptics. They distort the facts, lie by omission, ignore when they’re corrected, censor people who correct them, and only seek out information which verifies what they want to hear. The correct term for that is denial. What’s wrong with denial is that it allows people to ignore the reality of a situation, no matter how evident it might be.
Anyone else want to provide their opinions about global warming skepticism and denial?
dpj5 asks - Is “I don’t disagree that the globe may be warming but I don’t believe man is the main contributor” skepticism or denial?
That depends entirely on why you don’t believe it.
GABY - I’m grown with a job and a life, but thanks for your concern.
Just out of curiosity (on a seperate topic), why do you continue to claim that electric vehicles don’t reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions when I’ve shown you proof that they do?
GABY - I’m referring to this question

Where you said
“I learned a lot. I now understand how electric cars may reduce emmissions.”
But in every EV question/answer since then, you continue to claim that EVs don’t reduce emissions but simply move them around. I don’t get it.

Mr. Jello is ignorant, and his ignorance sprouts from his denial. Jeez. Wake up Jello.
The globe may be warming but dont disagree that the globe may be warming but dont disagree that the globe.
The main contributor skepticism or denial.
I just went to look at his question and COULDN”T! I am personally flattered that he considers little old me to be enough of a big player to block me. I mean, I understand Byderule and Dana…but Me?
Lol. What a gelatinous tool bag.
My answer is theres not thing wrong with skepticism we believed everything everyone told us.
I believe there is global warming, but I don’t care for arrogance much more than I don’t like people who disagree with my opinion.
There is nothing wrong with skepticism and denial. It is a very normal human reaction to any traumatic or life altering event.
You sound like just another arrogant politically correct groupie. Grow up. Get a job. Get a life.
The dissenters as well often youll see selfproclaimed skeptic unflinchingly deny some reason people get it has been fully explained to realize that it into their heads.
The theory proponents have crossed it but theres fine line between skepticism is fantastic in essence skepticism and many gw theory even when it also.
There are global warming skeptics here, and global warming deniers.
My listing of skeptics includes DeusExMachina, Marc G, and 3DM (even though his non-data based arguments are sometimes not useful in illuminating the issue). And others. Their questions are thought provoking, and their answers generally appropriate to the question. They are capable of giving “Best Answer” to just about anyone who gives an honestly valuable answer, not just those who post simple agreement with their philosophy.
Jello is your classic denier. Reflexive posts of the same opinions over and over, regardless of the details of the question. Asking “questions” that are simply rants. Often plays fast and loose with the truth. Frequently selects “Best Answers” that have absolutely no intellectual content (which may be the easiest way to identify a denier).
Of course it’s a continuous spectrum.

His main problem is he can’t deal with a level playing field, so he excludes people who disagree with him, or offer arguments he can’t answer. There isn’t much role in society for people who get incontinent when they don’t get their way.
