>> The right fails to recognize climate science.

I don't think this statement is correct. Gallup poll below by political party. Even 40% of Republicans believe the threat is serious and believe it is already underway. That's < "most", but still a considerable number. More shocking to me is the number who actually believe it will affect them in their lifetimes. Geez.

While I recognize the real science, I recognize that climate science as it is practiced is not real science. Still, there is real science to be found. Those of us who actually believe the science has been falsified are a much smaller figure.

The most astonishing item in the poll is that 85% of Democrats actually believe temperatures are increased due to human activities. Which I assume to mean materially increased, NOTICEABLY increased. When the mean increase is minuscule, and certainly not noticeable by humans who are involved measuring it. It is really absurd when you think about it.
