I have modified my original post at the request of a fellow Wacco subscriber who wishes to be referred to as a "skeptic."

It is important to note that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), a world renowned and respected news agency for decades, refers to Climate Change "skeptics" as deniers and their "dialog" as misinformation. This "skepticism" is the same kind of mentality expressed by millions of Americans who believe in "creationism" or "intelligent design."

Climate Change "skepticism" is strongest, if not unique, in the United States. This is another example of the most regressive attitudes in the country retarding public policy and torpedoing desperately needed legislation to reign in Climate Change.

For example, the United States was the last country in the world to abolish slavery as a widespread and legally protected institution. It was a major industry here in "the land of the free." This shameful history of the United States in dragging on with retrograde cultural practices has full expression today through Climate Change "skepticism" and state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage:

Backed by the oil and military industries, with literally trillions of dollars at their disposal, science has no chance.


Climate Change Denial is strongest, if not unique, in the United States. This is another example of the most regressive attitudes in the country retarding public policy and torpedoing desperately needed legislation to reign in Climate Change.

For example, the United States was the last country in the world to abolish slavery as a widespread and legally protected institution. It was a major industry here in "the land of the free."
