Study: Republicans more persuasive than scientists on ‘climate change’
Anthony Watts / 7 hours ago April 19, 2018   

From the UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT and the “that’s going to leave a mark” department comes this bit of news that’s sure to cause some heads to explode.

Regardless of political affiliation, people are more likely to believe facts about climate change when they come from Republicans speaking against what has become a partisan interest in this country, says a new University of Connecticut study.

In fact, Republicans are even more persuasive than scientists when it comes to correcting misinformation about climate change, researchers found.

Put quotes on the "scientist" part. These guys are NOT scientists. They are religious fanatics masquerading as scientists. Nothing in their frantic scribblings even remotely resembles a scientific theory. it has been busted so many times and tet, they keep on coming back to it.
