Biden has this so wrong. [View all]

Denying climate change is not like denying gravity. Gravity is very easy to verify even for a kid. Climate change requires tons of data analysis on a global scale. Climate change is a hard problem to understand... Climate change, especially man made climate change requires us to detect a signal from a ton of noise and confounding factors.. Which is why the fuckers on the right can get away with denying it and people can be skeptical. Comparing climate change to gravity does nothing to win people over.

Green House effect is a much easier thing to understand and verify as physics behind it is simple and straightforward.
