15. But I bet they won't.
I was afraid this would happen when Al Gore came out with his movie. The knee jerk reaction of some, not all, Republicans would be that if Al Gore is for it, they must oppose it. And it becomes a partisan issue. The science is clear and irrefutable. But there still is a PR effort to deny it. It was once funded by fossil fuel companies. Now most of them have reluctantly come around. But there are still people out there who pretend to believe global warming is a hoax. Humans have an immense capacity for pretending to believe in nonsense. How long did it take the Catholic Church to apologize about the Galileo thing? 400 years?
