Dr. Anthony Leiserowitz of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication identifies "the dismissive" as the 15% of the public who believe climate change is a conspiracy. He claims that "climate denial" was bankrolled to the tune of $558 million by conservative foundations. The hosts argue that this amount is dwarfed by the billions spent on pro-climate change initiatives.

The hosts critique the "Uncle Phil" characterization used to infantilize skeptics.
