by design. it's no coincidence that 35% of americans:
- believe climate science is a hoax
- lack basic critical thinking skills
- vote republican no matter what's on the ticket
This is STUPID and FAKE NEWS! JUST because it's HOTTER for LONGER and that means I have to run AC for MORE Months at a Higher setting DOESNT mean it's because of CLIMATE Change! Climate Change is a HOAX and it's because of [redacted]!
So the number of people who deny man made climate change is actually different than the number of people who think it’s not changing.
There is a good chunk of (relatively smarter) conservatives that do understand it’s changing, but just because it has changed before, 100% believe we have absolutely no effect on it.
So ironically, the portion of people who think we should change our behaviour to deal with the changes is higher than the portion who think we should change to stop it from happening.
Dealing with climate change would make preventing the man made effects easier, so I consider this a win.
