Climate change: despite scientific evidence, republicans deny it

"It is not a mystery why Republicans are more prone to be misinformed than independents and Democrats. Many national Republican leaders and numerous conservative news sites deny the existence of man-made climate change and promulgate the fiction that there is little agreement among scientists on the matter. The reason: To admit that climate change is at least partially caused by human behavior would require action to curtail greenhouse gases. And only government can enforce such action. But that approach flies in the face of an anti-government ideology that has permeated much of the Republican Party.

If ideology and facts are contradictory, the solution is either to change the ideology or change the perception of facts. The Post-Gazette/​iMediaEthics poll demonstrates that for at least one segment of partisans, distorting the perception of facts has happened to a significant degree."

There really is good and evil in this world. We all have choices. When propaganda can persuade otherwise good people to believe in evil things, history has taught us that bad things happen. We need to dismantle the propaganda for what it is......pure evil. The evidence is clear. The scientific consensus is clear.
