Mannoblognoisia

-- by Horatio Algeranon 

Climate denial 
Is Mannoblognoisia. 
So much in style 
At Heartland symposia.



Inspired by a comparison of climate change denial to anosognosia by commenter "Bernard J." at Open Mind:
Climate change denialism seems almost to be a peculiar version of anosognosia, and indeed something much like it is recognised as symptomatic of the Dunning-Kruger effect where the afflicted can’t seem to perceive their lack of ability in particular intellectual domains.
