You failed to mention that the very techniques of dis-information that were used during the 'tobacco wars' are being used to deny the effects of climate change... even the same lobbying groups are being used.
But on a gentler note, this discussion hinges on what I have come to understand as "
the durability of ignorance." It's a bit like religion, but without the any of the benefits.
I heard a very interesting statistic the other day... 55% of scientists self-identify as Democrats, while only about 6% self-identify as Republicans.
...what does that tell you?
