To clarify, my point is simply this, there doesn't have to be a coordinated conspiracy to facilitate the spread of misinformation, all you need is shared bias. There are a lot of people in this country who have demonized capitalism and the growth of the west for a very long time and in this case the green movement is more rationalization than rational justification and there is a difference.


Moreover, i think that going back to the original point of this thread, these statements by the President shouldn't even be allowed in polite company. Think about it. Under his watch we have the rise of the largest most well funded pure terrorist group in the world, and if we continue down the path that we are on we are looking at IRAN absorbing IRAQ to become a super state and we are what about a week from surrendering them the entire region and giving the largest state sponsor of terror a green light to build nuclear weapons. It's plain to anyone objective that the idea that we should be focused on CO2 emissions and just overlook the blatant failures of passivity as a foreign policy is as childish as it is dangerous. The truth is that there are many predictable dangers threatening this country in the short term and the idea that Climate Change is chief among them is on its face, REDICULOUS!

Climate change is not a short term problem. It also has nothing to do with ISIS, nor the demonization of capitalism. And, I would point out, it is not just young American liberals doing this science: it's an international community of scientists from all kinds of political backgrounds from all kinds of countries. If you really think some Swedish scientist crunching numbers cares what dunderheaded American republicans (the only people left on this planet still denying reality) has to say about his work, you suffer from hubris. He is doing his science because it's his job.


Also, I'd mention the science behind global warning is extremely easy to understand. It's fourth grade level science and I can explain it to you if you like.
