Rampaging Climate Deniers' Losing Battle
Salzman, Lorna
http://www.countercurrents.org/salzman081209.htmDate Written: 2009-12-08 Publisher: Countercurrents Year Published: 2009 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX11545 Because of the flimsy comprehension of science and evolution of most writers in the mass media, those who venture to write about evolution feel constrained to present "alternative" views. But "alternative" views are not necessarily credible or true. The cliimate change deniers' arguments are no less articles of faith than those of the creationists. In the case of the former, the faith is not in a god but in the free market and capitalism. Almost without exception, those who are in staunch denial are those connected to, involved in or supportive of the traditional capitalist model of economic growth, and by implication opposed to anything that might constrain this model.
