have not spent even 15 minutes educating themselves on this issue. That global warming is destablizing climate, resulting in more extreme weather events and erratic weather patterns, is very basic stuff after all.

I hear a lot of this stuff in the South. Blocking anything Democrats want to do, refusing to "believe in" climate change, evils of government, etc., are all tied up with religion in a whole lot of minds.
