Some local Republican yokels still pose that global warming-climate change is a hoax.
UNC Chapel Hill sociologist Gordon Gauchat just published his study that 65% of conservatives (read Republicans) have little or no trust in science. In 1974, half of them did. He relates that they are turning against science as they turned against higher education and the media.
I suspect these particular Republicans put their faith in Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, reading of tea leaves, and crystal balls.
They further say that they don’t have to take care of the planet because they will soon be raptured. Hold it folks, the Rapture was four years ago, three years ago, two years ago, and last year. I’m sure another Rapture will be scheduled again this year for those of you who missed it.
In the meantime, I suggest you start taking a little better care of this planet, you may be down here a little longer than you expected.
