Of course they are.
Climate denier “arguments” are typically characterised by an inability to critically appraise evidence and a tendency to select items that reinforce prior assumptions. They (and conspiracists more generally) betray their poorly developed critical skills by avoiding actually constructing arguments of their own. They prefer to demand their opponents “do their research” and may or may not provide a series of links or quotes with little evidence that they’ve understood or engaged with the material in its context.
