More Than a Quarter of Congress Members Say They Don’t Believe in Climate Change
Story by Stephanie Bontorin • 1d
 
 
For years, the rise of climate denial in U.S. politics has become more mainstream. Now, nearly one in four lawmakers in Congress believes in dismantling legislation surrounding climate change, even as the alarms are sounding from scientists and experts around the globe.     

A total of 123 representatives elected to the House and the Senate have positioned themselves as deniers of human-caused climate change. All of them are Republicans, and according to a recent study of current members, this number could be growing.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
