Do people really believe the Daily Mail / Telegraph anymore?

Once again I am fascinated to see yet another piece denying climate change in a popular right-wing newspaper despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary

Really?

There’s a very nicely written piece here responding to it

Every headline news bulletin led with something along the lines of ‘Man-made climate change causes ‘even more certain” on Friday and yet, the Telegraph respond with a ‘it’s all mumbo jumbo’ piece.

What frightens me are the thousands of supportive comments at the end.

You can’t fix stupid eh?

I am a (less stupid) visual person and prefer the following images:

Is this really a conversation we have to keep repeating?

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”(Arthur Schopenhauer).

Guess we’re stuck in the second stage.

Yes it’s easier to keep denying there’s a problem but it’s not very intelligent. How’s about we just focus on making the world we live in a nicer place for everyone?
