I really find it amazing that so many people reject the science on global warming which is agreed upon by 97% of climate scientists. I don't know if this is from a fear/disbelief in empirical scientific methods from flat earthers, or paranoid conspiracy theories claiming anything backed by the UN must be evil, or a climate science education primarily from fox news.
You have:
- Massive increase in carbon output
- Scientific evidence proving that in an atmospheric system, carbon traps heat
- Scientific evidence demonstrating rising sea temps, rising land temps, coral bleaching, 20 thousand year old glaciers disappearing, large chunks of ice floating off from Antarctica, massive rise in occurence and ferocity natural disasters, massive droughts and floods in different parts of the world, shifting rain patterns and numerous other changes all very well documented.
Yet people can keep a straight face and reject the science on offer. It is a testament to the ignorance that the common man is capable of.
I wonder if the skeptics will go for the theory of gravity next, or perhaps there will be a resurgence in the belief that the universe revolves around the earth. We already know most of them reject the theory of evolution.
