In the above mentioned article in the New York Times, they posed and answered a question of particular relevance to those who post on HC denying the science of global warming and climate change.
Here’s what they said, delivered in plain English.
“Why do people deny the
science of climate change?
Mostly because of ideology.
“Instead of negotiating over climate change policies and trying to make them more market-oriented, some political conservatives have taken the approach of blocking them by trying to undermine the science.
“President Trump has sometimes claimed that scientists are engaged in a worldwide hoax to fool the public, or that global warming was invented by China to disable American industry. The climate denialists’ arguments have become so strained that even oil and coal companies have distanced themselves publicly, though some still help to finance the campaigns of politicians who espouse such views.”
