Have you seen the spirited new game being played by a few right-wing columnists in high profile media outlets of late?

The game is called "You've been framed" and it's available at a toyshop or conservative-leaning news outlet in an alternative reality near you.

Another name for this game might be "What's the most offensive and ridiculous thing we can get away with saying about climate scientists?"

To play, you need to first pretend thousands of studies, inquiries and reports into climate change and the science behind it never happened.
