It always amuses me how politicians and community “faith based” leaders can blithely condemn what scientists have been warning about for decades, as if they know better (with no training or experience). Anti-intellectualism is the Dunning-Kruger effect applied to politics, known as Populism, aka the idiots revenge.
These politicians don’t give a fuck about being right. They probably know they are wrong. Being a climate change denier just lines their pockets better.

too bad we’re all gonna be dead in a few decades.
The problem with faith-based leaders is that they do everything in bad faith.
