I have just read an interesting article regard a new film call "Denial"
no not climate change denial - but a film based on the court case, fought in London's High Courts of Justice between the American historian and academic Deborah Lipstadt and the British historian David Irvine.
David Irvine was notorious for "denying" the Holocaust - Irvine sued Lipstadt when she called him out on his denial

The article
this quote caught my eye
"As Lipstadt says in my screenplay, certain things are true. Elvis is dead. The icecaps are melting. And the Holocaust did happen. Millions of Jews went to their deaths in camps and open pits in a brutal genocide which was sanctioned and operated by the leaders of the Third Reich. There are some subjects about which two points of view are not equally valid. We are entering, in politics especially, a post-factual era in which it is apparently permissible for public figures to assert things without evidence, and then to justify their assertions by adding “Well, that’s my opinion” – as though that in itself was some kind of justification. It isn’t. And such charlatans need to learn it isn’t. Contemplating the Lipstadt/Irving trial may help them to that end."
