Find one journalist or democrat elected official who knows what a dry adiabatic lapse rate is and maybe we can talk climate change.

Here’s grrrrrrrrreta. In my best ed McMahon voice.

Americans remain shaky on the details of climate science
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~’
That’s because the science is real shaky.

The world to end in 2030. Women and minorities hardest hit

More than 3 in 4 U.S. adults and teenagers alike agree that humans are influencing the climate.

Yes, I always turn to teenagers for advice on structuring global economies and how to generate electricity. They are better informed and more knowledgable than celebrities, singers, and athletes.

The same morons who accepted the “new ice age” as “settled science” in the 70s, and their indoctrinated offspring.

Appropriate picture. Tremendous way to recognize and honor students from the Paul Joseph Goebbels Institute for “Integrity?” in Media.

As they say, a picture is worth more than a thousand words.

“...they have grown increasingly concerned about human activity warming the Earth...”

ABSOLUTELY impossible!

[BusterDog]

More and more people don’t believe it, more and more distrust authority, and more and more believe in conspiracies because of the blatant propaganda produced by the MSM leading up to and during the Trump presidency.

‘The arrogance is astounding that we are the be all end all.’

well, isn’t that precisely what religions have been pumping for millenia...?

[rktman]

I suppose some see it that way. :-)

[oldtech]

Better make it clear how many believe that crap or just ignore what may not be fact.

[hal ogen]

I’ll burn yet another truck tire in honor of those who don’t know how to think critically .

Several experts on science communication said it’s not essential for people to know the precise details about climate change so long as they understand the gravity of the issue, the role of humans and the need to take action.

WTH is an expert on science communication? A reporter on science? Like a political reporter? What I'm reading is that the media is the one pushing this "science", and it's not required to explain it. The people just have to believe them when they say it's human caused and action must be taken. Like Pelosi.. you must act before you know why.
