Before:
Global Warming isn't real (or if it is, it's WAY in the future), it's alarmist nonsense from corrupt scientists paid off by Soros!!!1!!

After:
Scientists corrupted by Soros FAILED to tell us all how bad this was going to be, earlier, putting the world in grave danger!!!1!!

And they'll do it without the slightest trace of irony, as always.

What they'll really be saying is "I thought this was far enough off in the future that it wouldn't affect me, so I was a denialist cause I thought it would screw me over personally if it were accepted, so I denied it! Now that it looks like *I* may be affected after all, I'm going to front and gaslight about the whole thing"

Because that appears to be instinctual for them.
