Holocaust denial
The planet is threatened by a holocaust. Glaciers are melting all over the planet. The Greenland ice sheet is melting so much that new islands are being uncovered. The North Pole is not far from being free from ice in the summer. New England is losing its ability to make maple syrup. And in the face of all this evidence, we have...Americans. Americans, of whom only 4 in 10 "believe" in evolution. Americans, who believe in miracles (89%), the devil (68%), hell (69%), ghosts (51%), astrology (31%) and reincarnation (27%).
And now, in the face of planetary holocaust, we have either 26% or 33% who don't believe the earth is warming. We're not talking here about the cause of the warming, just the warming itself. Shocking? Yes. And, sadly, no.
