A new study from professors at Oklahoma State University has found that Republicans and Democrats have never been so far apart on climate issues.
"What was once a modest tendency for Congressional Republicans to be less pro-environmental than their Democratic counterparts has become a chasm—with Republicans taking near-unanimous anti-environmental stances on relevant legislation in recent years, especially 2015," the study said.
This distance between the parties was further exacerbated by the rise of the Koch-funded Tea Party, which took the hard line of fully dismissing the climate change threat, often making climate change a lightning rod for voters who were outraged at Washington.
As they stoked fears about the U.S. government attempting to pass legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the Tea Party normalized climate denial throughout the Republican Party, according to Ohio State University's Prof. Riley E. Dunlap and Jerrod H. Yarosh, and Michigan State Associate Professor Aaron M. McCright.

Thank God it has nothing to do with the Sun, And since the only source of Accurate Temperature Measurement is from Satellites, which show NO WARMING for 18 Years.
Are we all going to Die?
Actual scientific data!
“Follow the money” is the most logical, reasoned explanation for climate change.

Yeah, I’m still waiting for my Koch Bros. check.
If anything, the radical Climatists are modifying the data to fit the theory.
Its easy when you can mine any weather statistic to fit the climate narrative. Its also easy when you have an ignorant populace
Exactly.
There are far too many, including supposed scientists, who believe in “proof by computer model.” I could build a computer model of nearly anything to “prove” whatever result you wanted.
People need to learn that computer models of complex phenomena can be a useful tool to understand them, but can NOT be used to prove anything. (Your daily weather forecast is a great example. Often useful, but frequently wrong.)
