Does it make any difference at this point? It is pretty clear that climate change deniers are not going to change their mind even if the oceans boil over and they're steamed to death.

They likely have a vested interest to ensure there is enough doubt in people to keep laws working in their favor.
Thanks for reminding me about the Great Filter I had forgotten about that term.
