In spite of the obvious melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice packs and the well-documented fact that low-lying islands are disappearing under water, some climate change deniers seem to have an ideological bias against factual evidence.

They’ve apparently swallowed propaganda from corporations that would rather not admit that their most profitable activities are a leading cause of global warming. According to the EPA, Koch Industry refineries have been responsible for 300 oil spills and have leaked three million gallons of crude oil into fisheries and drinking water. Yet the billionaire Koch brothers have funded major campaigns to discredit global warming. And “scientists” disputing global warming appear to be in the pay of major oil companies.

These deniers are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.
