Global warming kills... jobs!

Mother Jones is reporting that four of the so-called Flat-Earth Five lost their seats in the House of Representatives last week.  As always, I'm not interested in taking a position on climate change, but I would like to make some distinctions.  Deniers of global warming or climate change are of two sorts: a) those who deny that human actions contribute to the changing climate; b) those who deny that the global climate is changing.  Climatologists have known for a long time that the earth--almost as if it is a living being--goes through global phases (the many ice-ages the earth has experienced are simply one extreme in this cycle).  The question as to whether the climate is changing should not be debated in congress (nor should the existence of gravity).  However, the question of the human contribution to global warming can only be debated if it is first admitted that the climate is in fact changing.  At least two of the four so-called flat-earthers were dead weight on the question. 
Ann Marie Buerkle does not seem to recognize warming at all.
Francisco Conseco recognizes that global warming kills...  jobs.
