According to a new CNN poll, “Americans who are least likely to understand the connection between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change are Tea Party supporters, Republicans, those older than 65, whites, those from the Midwest and South, and men. Those most likely to understand the connection are those who oppose the Tea Party, Democrats, those from the Northeast, non-whites, younger and middle-aged Americans, and women.”

If those who are anti-science in the US are allowed to carry the day it will ultimately hurt the American economy. The best scientists will head for the established leaders of science, such as the UK and emerging powerhouses such as China and India. But beyond that it will damage the US’s standing in the world. Who will be able to take its leaders seriously? They may not care, but they should.
Science is worth fighting for. It helps us understand the world and ourselves better and will benefit all humanity.
We have to hope that the people of the US will see through some of the nonsense being foisted on them by vocal minorities. It is time to reject political movements that reject science and take us back into the dark rather than forward into a more enlightened future.
