Well, I disagree, If you want to be impractically pedantic, we don't know anything for sure.
Your Krugman link makes a reasonable point - it's hard to know whether the title of this post is useful rhetoric, I think those who aren't so easily triggered will still check the content to see what actual points are being made. Certainly Republicans don't have a monopoly on depravity. I think adopting a common label for ones political opinions is a sign of an unthinking person.
I tune out people from both sides. Krugman is one, but Hannity is one on the other side. Both are ridiculous shills imo. It is a more efficient use of my time to skip over such people, and read those who I know are more intellectually honest.
Maybe I need to take a closer look at the global warming data available.

I guess there's no clear line between wasting time on shills, and closing yourself off too much to opposing ideas.
If it's a credible enough line of thought others will be promoting it as well.
