The U.S. is the world leader in climate denial

[Dr Hobbitstein]

When it comes to climate denial, the United States is number one, new polling data from the U.K.-based market research firm Ipsos MORI reveals. It’s because we’re so much more enlightened than the rest of the world.

Not really.

Only 54 percent of Americans agree with the scientific consensus on climate change: that “the climate change we are currently seeing is largely the result of human activity.” Compare that to the next-lowest, Great Britain, with 64 percent in agreement, all the way up to China, where 93 percent agreed — almost reflecting the 97 percent consensus itself (the pollsters do note that, as the results were taken from online surveys, data may be skewed for developing countries like China and India).

2. Correct...

There's a horrible anti-science movement that is QUITE active in the US. It seems there is more money behind it than there is behind actual science. A sad state of affairs.
