If Einsteinian relativity deniers had their way, we wouldn’t have GPS.

If climate deniers have their way, we won’t have enough food or clean drinking water. While the Koch brothers are eating steak and drinking Perrier, the rest of us (the Precariat) will be obligated to eat “food” made of caterpillars and beetles, and drink recycled sewage. We’ll also have plenty more violent storms: tornados, hurricanes, straight-line winds at hurricane strength, and so on.
