Global Warming Deniers & Conservatives vs. Science throughout History

Writing about Trump and current politics is getting old. No mater how much I enjoy turning the screws on the Orange liar in the White House, the damage being done to the country both nationally and internationally is depressing. I needed to take a short break and write about other subjects of interests for a while.

Sometime ago it occurred to me that the denial of climate change follows a consistent pattern of how the rich and powerful and their conservative allies have fought inconvenient scientific discoveries down through history. I have revisited that subject in this blog post.

I believe this is relevant to our discussion because it provides insight into the real reason why conservatives stubbornly cling to their beliefs and we must understand our opponents in order to defeat them.
