- Rep. Chris Stewart Whopper: ‘Majority Of Democrats Recognize That The Science Regarding Climate Change Is Uncertain’ | ThinkProgress (This kind of stuff, this level of denial really amazes me,…well then again maybe it doesn’t. Clearly this Representative is basing and shaping his judgments and opinions regarding scientific facts based on his political party’s position and not on any kind of critical thinking and evidence.
…While Stewart can claim credit for fabricating statistics about Democrats’ climate concerns, the other climate denial myths he packs into his emotional op-ed have been thoroughly debunked. For those counting, Stewart repeated the denier myths Skeptical Science has helpfully numbered as #2, #3, #5, #7, #12, #16, #41, #73, #85, #136, #139, #140, #153, #171, and #175.
Congressman Stewart’s reckless climate denial is putting all Americans at risk. You can help hold Congressman Stewart accountable to the scientific facts on climate change by signing the Forecast the Facts petition today.
