TYT: Education Doesn’t Matter: Republicans Still Don’t Believe In Climate Change



“How could it be that the more educated Democrats are, the more likely they are to believe the science on manmade climate change, yet when Republicans have more education, they are more likely to be skeptics? That is the conundrum put forward by a new Gallup poll released Thursday that showed a whopping 74% of college-educatied Republicans saying they believe global warming is “generally exaggerated.”

By contrast, only 15% of college-educated Democrats said the same. For Republicans with a high school education or less, 57% believe climate change is exaggerated, while only 27% of high school-educated or less Democrats said the same.”

college. At my former workplace, I helped several people with schoolwork from these sorts of 'colleges' and I was totally unimpressed with what was acceptable work. Three-page papers on how prayer heals? Simplified high-school arithmetic? It should be a crime that any of those degrees are taken seriously. But they are. Look at Liberty College here in VA; it's going gangbusters, graduating gobs of students while rigorous and respected colleges go under.

It's all hat and no cattle, folks, just like everything else in this fake culture.
