I recommend this article, entitled, “How G.O.P. Leaders Came to View Climate Change as Fake Science”

Also, I would say, how G.O.P. followers came to that same conclusion.

With the help of a small army of oil-industry-funded academics like Wei-Hock Soon of Harvard Smithsonian and think tanks like the Competitive Enterprise Institute, [conservative activists] had been working to discredit academics and government climate change scientists.”

With think tanks and Harvard academics obfuscating the matter, it shouldn’t be hard to convince those who are already inclined to want to believe what republicans tell them – and, maybe more importantly, who are already strongly averse to anything that any liberals espouse – that climate change isn’t real. Especially those who aren’t climate scientists.

You (ucodegen)aren’t doing any original research. And neither am I. And I would wager that most or all of your charts and graphs and ideas originated with these oil-industry-funded academics.

If the consensus among scientists is that humans are causing climate change, and most of the resistance to that idea is political (from oil-industry-funded politicians and from republican loyalists, including right-wing media) and monetary (from the oil industry and their lackey academics), then it seems pretty clear to me where the truth lies.
