America's theologians of climate science denial | Katherine Stewart | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

I am not assuming that Sandy was the direct consequence of human-caused climate change. But with this fresh evidence of the impact of climate issues on real people, how is it possible for anyone to think that thousands of scientists around the world are engaged in an elaborate hoax?

The standard reply is that some powerful organizations – above all, in the fossil fuel industry – think that they can benefit from misleading the public, and have funded a successful disinformation campaign. There is a lot of truth to this answer, but it isn't the whole truth.

Climate science denial needs disinformation to survive, but it has its feet firmly planted in a part of American culture...There's no need to master the facts if all you need is to learn a few words of scripture...Translated into the kind of language that you can take to the shopping mall, it says that God wants you to squeeze whatever you can out of the earth – and to hell with the grandkids.
