are caused by Global Climate Change."
That's pretty much what I see every other day on Facebook from somebody or other.
GCC deniers have now sunk to the level of creationist, where no evidence can change their minds.
The are so committed to their faith that GCC isn't real that to change their minds and accept what is happening all around them must be seen as a personal surrender and a refutation of God or something.
It's sad and scary, since there are too many in Government who feel this way.

(10,007 posts)Take one of those 99.9% of Climate Scientists that accept anthropogenic climate change, and take one of the 0.01% of Climate Scientists who do not (and are employed by Chevron or BP), put them in a news segment and then declare the issue a controversy that cannot be resolved.
