Some would say denying anthropogenic climate change is akin to shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre.

Some would say engaging the such hyperbole is harmful and destroys credibility that's sorely needed.
What credibility is needed? Climate change is a fact and it’s going to disrupt society.

Letting people claim that it’s not real to build “credibility” with the same people who don’t believe in the objective fact does not but build “credibility” for the liars

Hyperbole how? Climate change denial contributes to inaction, which causes harm.
Please separate people who agree that the climate is changing but dispute that mankind is the major driver

There was a 98-0 vote in a senate saying climate change is real. No one denied it.
