Yes. But if you can’t reasonably talk about AGW without going into some form of denial—you won’t be able to talk about the diseases rationally either. The ability to talk rationally rapidly falls off with the scariness of the scenario; fear and importance of issue do not make you think clearer; only less clearly.
