I’ve often equated climate change denial to the propaganda pushed by big tobacco decades ago. Back then big tobacco paid for “scientific studies” to be done to disprove the notion that smoking was hazardous to a person’s health. Heck, once upon a time, there were even doctor recommended cigarettes. Nowadays if someone tried to claim smoking wasn’t dangerous most people would look at that person like they were crazy. Except, not that long ago, there was actually a heated debate in this country over whether or not smoking was, in fact, dangerous. In my opinion, that’s exactly the type of situation we’re seeing today as it relates to climate change. Between lobbyists and “scientific studies” (mostly paid for by oil companies) trying to discredit climate science, we’re in the midst of reality battling possibly the most powerful industry on the planet – big oil. Well, during an excellent interview with the Star Tribune, highly acclaimed meteorologist Paul Douglas destroyed Republican propaganda against climate change.

FYI, Paul Douglas is also a moderate conservative.
