Global warming?

What they don't believe, is the scenarios of disaster and doom. The scientists pulling a tw, acting like they must be obeyed, doesn't help their case. Anyone that disputes it, won't get funding.

Its not nearly as bad as other issues, but it seems climate change is turning into another polarized political issue in the US. Conservatives tend to deny global warming using faulty logic and liberals tend to accept man made global warming as gospel. I've heard a good amount of people deny global warming all together just because of a cold winter or because some evidence got denied, which is a step beyond not believing global warming is going to cause the end of the world.

Its turning into another polarizing issue where nothing can get done because both sides are wearing shutters and refuse to believe that they might be wrong.
