I’m having a Superbowl party. I love the Broncos (I don’t). The Broncos and the Cowboys are the two teams in the Superbowl (I don’t care about football… I need an accessible analogy is all).

Who do I invite? Other Broncos fans, of course. Why would I invite people who don’t like the Broncos as much as I do? Why would I invite Cowboys fans? It’s not much fun having a bunch of people in the room who will cheer AGAINST the Broncos. That would ruin the Superbowl party.

I invite people who are Broncos fans because we all agree we want the Broncos to win, and anyone who cheers for the Cowboys will ruin our fun.

I invite people who reinforce my love for the Broncos. I invite people who want the Broncos to win. I invite people who think as I do. I invite people who already agree with me.

“Climate change” symposiums are exactly the same as a Superbowl party.

If I was holding a fairy tale climate change symposium, I invite other scientists who also believe in the fairy tale. I invite people who reinforce my belief in the fairy tale. I invite people who think as I do. I invite people who already agree with me.

And then I release an official fairy tale press statement of the sort…

“Leading Scientists Agree on Climate Change.”

This ain’t no “Four Out of Five Dentists Agree” gig. It’s an inconvenient truth for sure. Tu comprende? Bon.
