I know it could have been selectively edited, but is their reply really just to say "it's Koch-speak"? Your moment to let people know what's wrong with the material presented, and that's what you choose to say? A good contrast with the teachers who want to spark a reasonable debate.

Isn’t the market supposed to get rid of retarded stuff like climate change scepticism?

That wasn't in the article. You just read it, how did you already get confused?

Actually, it was. See below
Another video, called “Unstoppable Solar Cycles,” downplays man’s role in climate change. The video comes with a quiz in which the correct answer is that man “plays a small part in global warming.”

They omitted what the question was and what the other options were.
What if the question was "which of these is a common defense for those that do not believe in climate change?"

The video is publicly available and expresses skepticism toward climate change. You can look it up and watch it, assuming you care about subjecting your views to factual scrutiny. The think tank that made the video, which is heavily funded by ExxonMobil, sponsored an event called "Denial-a-palooza."
There is no real debate here. The article linked to in OP discusses climate change skepticism. That is a fact; hence it is factually incorrect to state, as u/BandanaKey did, that climate change skepticism "wasn't in the article." The only remaining question is whether you and other right wingers on this sub choose to accept that fact or prefer to continue denying reality.
I'm taking bets.

Anyone saying "Liberty" is koch-speak for tyranny. But when progressives say thing like "any means necessary", they're totally not calling for violence in code.
