Woodward, Oklahoma (CNN)I was wandering around the rolling plains of northwest Oklahoma looking for one person -- one person -- who believes in climate change science when I met the woman dressed all in yellow.
A wide-brimmed, lemon-colored hat orbited her head. Her loafers were the color of butter. Everything in between was a jubilee of sunshine.
Could she be the one?
Please, Lord, let her be the one.
I ask.
She laughs.
It's a sweet laugh. A knowing laugh. A yes-I-understand-everyone-out-here-thinks-climate-science-is-total-BS-but-I'm-the-one-who-gets-it laugh.
Then Yellow Hat speaks.
"I think it's a big fat lie."

Oh, dear, I feel a crybaby tear welling up in my eye.
They despise religion, yet are now trying to encourage churches to sell the science to their congregations.
I’m guessing if they preach global warming and marry homosexuals, the fed will allow them to maintain their exempt status......
The clue lies to the hdden agenda in the wording, “Why do so many people HERE doubt climate change?” They are obviously doing research for DC...
The intolerance these people have for the people who think it’s nonsense, should concern everyone.
They want it to be considered a crime.
Good freakin’ grief.
The University mindset flows out to the public. This is university liberalism pure and simple.
New tag line.
I believe in climate change. The climate is always changing.
I don’t believe it’s changing radically.
I don’t believe the changes are our fault.
I don’t believe that imposing draconian taxes and regulations on business in the US are intended to help fix the climate change problem.
I don’t believe that any fix the US employs that countries like India and China don’t employ will matter one iota.
I do believe that the “ruling class” continually look for ways to control our lives.
I do believe they will use any/all methods at their disposal including fear, guilt and terror to control us.
I do believe that the fight against climate change is a massive power grab by the would-be rulers of the world who can’t stand the idea that we’re free to speak and do as we please.
IDK, but preaching Doom, and throwing out postdictions claiming that you knew Hurricane #)#(# was coming after the fact does not sound impressive to me.
Global Warming is a religion and not science. They hate Christians and Jews but they do LOVE their Global Warming.
A lot of people would appreciate a discussion of how climate has changed over time -- the ice ages, the dinosaurs, wooly mammoths, the little ice age, etc. But instead you get a political agenda pushed over and over again. It's as though instead of hearing about evolution down the ages, you just got an endless repetition of somebody's compulsory eugenic schemes.
Cause people in "Flyover country" actually do stuff for a living, which tends to strain out the stupidity virus infecting coastal regions?
Maybe the best steak I ever ate, a strip steak, was in a steakhouse in Woodward just a few years ago.
My father and sister were born there.
Crystal lake and Boiling Springs state park, nearly tame wild turkeys and scene of my marathon snake killing story.
Natives pronounce it `Woodard’. Soil like brown talcum powder.
Oh, I'm sure they'd believe in climate change science, if there were any. They just don't believe in climate change snake oil, which has so dominated spending (for understandable reasons) that there's no money left for ACTUAL climate change science.
I pray to God that one of those clowns would ask me why I don’t believe in climate change “science”.
If it’s so damned obvious, I’d say, then you explain it to me. Tell me exactly how the greenhouse effect works. Convince me that Beer’s Law (which tells us that each incremental increase in CO2 concentration has a smaller and smaller influence on infrared absorption) doesn’t minimize the effect of contemporary CO2 emissions. Specify how it is we know that computer models should include positive feedbacks for increasing amounts of CO2, and not negative feedbacks. Tell me why the “hot spot” at moderate altitudes that is expected for CO2 warming has never been observed.
I could go on, but I’m sure any talking head pursuing this topic would know how to mouth the words “scientific consensus”, and anything beyond that would be beyond their IQ level.
Some ditz from CNN goes to “flyover country” and is surprised to find people with intelligence who know that climate change is a freaking LIE?
Liberals are more than just brain damaged. They must also ingest lots of illicit substances to increase their stupidity.
Sounds like heaven on earth to me.
Maybe they are smarter than Liberal Reporters?
I think you would like the people.
If there were no ladies present, they might bluntly tell you why they don’t sign on to stuff like climate change’.
“Because we don’t have time for that kind of horse .....”.
Sorry ladies.
Nearby, the Gloss `mountains’—buttes actually—covered by gypsum crystals, they sparkle in the sun like diamonds. You see the sparkle first from miles away.
Downside: Woodward gets its butt kicked by a tornado every so often.
I do believe that the “ruling class” continually look for ways to control our lives.
I remember something from decades ago, I just wish I could remember who said it.
“In every generation there are those who mean to rule wisely... But! They do mean to rule.”
