This hilarious song shows how frustrated scientists can get when you ignore climate change
http://www.upworthy.com/this-hilarious-song-shows-how-frustrated-scientists-can-get-when-you-ignore-climate-changeHoffman has long been fascinated by what he calls "the ability of people to deny overwhelming scientific consensus," and last spring, as he sat in on an online seminar about dealing with climate change doubters, inspiration struck.
15 minutes later, he had written "Sound of Skeptics" to the tune of Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence."
The music video he posted to YouTube and recorded in his home studio in Corvallis, Oregon, where he's a doctoral candidate at Oregon State University, is as ridiculous as the task it describes: repeatedly presenting hard evidence to an unpersuadable minority.
In climate science, dealing with the doubters has long been a part of the job. Why not do it with a wig and a song?
