Why Do People Believe Scientifically Untrue Things? Because they can't read their own diplomas.
Plus they spend all their time watching sports, moronic network TV, driving while texting, eyes focused on some electronic device that an actual intelligent person created, or playing violent video games.
Climate change: The majority of climate scientists believe that human activity is causing the earth’s temperatures to increase. A recent Pew Research poll found that two-thirds of Americans also believe that the earth is warming. But a deep partisan divide yawns between conservatives and liberals on the cause of the warming: Only 16 percent of conservative Republicans believe that human activity is responsible, whereas 77 percent of liberal Democrats do. Moderate Republicans and Democrats accept human responsibility by 38 and 51 percent, respectively. Advantage: Democrats. Sorry, but that's idiotic, it assumes that being in a majority makes these losers right... There is clear evidence that warming STOPPED around 10 - 12 years ago. There is also clear evidence that any warming which there ever was, was caused by the sun and not man.
