Chris Mooney writing in AlterNet states: "Authoritarian people have a stronger emotional need for an outlet like Fox, where they can find affirmation and escape factual challenges to their beliefs."

Conservatives who consider themselves well-informed and educated are also deeper in denial about issues like global warming...the “smart idiots” effect: The fact that politically sophisticated or knowledgeable people are often more biased, and less persuadable, than the ignorant.

Gingrich back pedals on climate change, will he back pedal on bipartisan education plans next?

The scandal of "Climategate" gets completely debunked and recieves very little, if any, coverage.

Despite this being the warmest year on record, Inhofe still insists that we are in a 9 year cold snap. He continues to deny that global warming exists.

Koch industries is a main financier of the downplay of climate change

Senator James Inhofe, an ardent global warming sceptic, is being accused of turning the row over climate science into a McCarthyite witch-hunt by calling for a criminal investigation of American and British scientists who worked on the UN climate body's report. Inhofe's actions represent an attempt to silence debate on the eve of new proposals for a climate change law.

The South Dakota House of Representatives passed a resolution to “urge” public schools to teach astrology: More specifically, "that there are a variety of climatological, meteorological, astrological, thermological, cosmological, and ecological dynamics that can effect [sic] world weather phenomena and that the significance and interrelativity of these factors is largely speculative." The resolution calling for "balanced teaching of global warming in the public schools passed by a 36-30 vote. The resolution repeats long-deb...

Fact Check on The Climategate Scandal

While the harsh winter pounding many areas of North America and Europe seemingly contradicts the fact that global warming continues unabated, a new survey finds consensus among scientists about the reality of climate change and its likely cause.

Facts show global warming is real opinion blog.

Global warming and climate change have been the focus of controversy and debate for nearly half a century – Is global warming real? What causes climate change – is it man made? Should we do something? What can we do?

Here's a few things most people don't know, because most people like to get their news from propaganda movies which win Oscars (*achem* "An Inconvenient Truth"). So here's some facts I bet Al Gore and your science teacher didn't teach:

Further proof of anthropogenic climate change by the American Geophysical Union. They state that "The Earth's climate is now clearly out of balance and is warming. Many components of the climate system—including the temperatures of the atmosphere, land and ocean, the extent of sea ice and mountain glaciers, the sea level, the distribution of precipitation, and the length of seasons—are now changing at rates and in patterns that are not natural and are best explained by the increased atmospheric abundances of greenhouse gase...

Further proof of human-made climate change by the American Physical Society. They state that "The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."

Further proof of climate change, as shown in this report by the World Meteorological Society. They state that "Indeed, strong observational evidence and results from modeling studies indicate that, at least over the last 50 years, human activities are a major contributor to climate change."

This report is the gold standard proof that anthropogenic global warming is indeed occurring. According to the report, "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level” AND “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.”

Further proof of anthropogenic climate change by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. They state that "The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society."

The strongest evidence yet that global warming has been triggered by human activity has emerged from a major study of rising temperatures in the world’s oceans.

This article discusses how climate, while often debated within political circles, is not a matter of opinion at all. Within the most reputed sources for scientific knowledge, such as the International Panel on Climate Change (created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations) and National Academy of Sciences have concluded that anthropogenic climate change is real. Indeed, our burning of fossil fuels, along with deforestation is causing our planet to warm.
