    Nah

    If someone says, "The Earth is Flat," and you believe him, and tell other people, you're still a liar, you're just an honest liar.

    I'm willing to accept that you are honestly and earnestly spreading lies that you believe. It's a distinction you don't seem to get.

    The words are necessary because the icecaps melting will be a big deal. We need to dispense with lies about the science, right now, and I won't stop saying it.
