"Echo Chambers" The reason wingers deny Climate Science

[zebonaut]

According to new research published in Nature Climate Change, there’s at least one statistically proven reason why more than 56 percent of Congressional Republicans deny climate change: echo chambers.
The term “echo chambers” traditionally refers to situations where people surround themselves with information they want to hear, and block out the rest. We’ve known for a while that these present themselves in climate politics; A 2014 study suggested that the reason Americans haven’t fully accepted the scientific consensus on climate change is because of echo chambers like Fox News, where conservative viewers are “exposed only to content consistent with their opinions, while shielded from dissenting views.”

Same reason.

2. I explain it like this

RWer's always start with what they want and then make-up lies and distorted logic to get there. They don't want to contend with climate change which would cost money and demand some managerial skills (which they do not have), therefore (the simplest and easiest way out) there is no climate change. Rocket-science is exactly what this isn't.
