I teach a class on technique used by science deniers to push an agenda. It involves five components:

Fake experts: Presenting an unqualified person or institution as a source of credible information

Logical Fallacies: Arguments where the conclusion doesn’t logically follow from the premises.

Impossible Expectations: Demanding unrealistic standards of certainty before acting on the science

Cherry Picking: Carefully selecting data that appear to confirm one position while ignoring other data that contradicts that position.

Conspiracy Theory: Proposing that a secret plan exists to implement a nefarious scheme such as hiding a truth.

In those four short paragraphs Dan has utilized three of those techniques quite well bravo Dan, this was a text book example of denial technique.

Had to double check what forum I was in for a minute. This could be applied to so many things.
