Funny but Sad Truth about Climate Change Denial

There is a 97% consensus from scientists worldwide that anthropogenic climate change is happening. 

David Mitchell humorously highlights the difference between normal people and climate change deniers. Yet why then do climate change deniers still have power? Their arguments are based on misrepresentation, unfounded theories and disproportionate media coverage. They should have been laughed at and forgotten, yet they haven't. And what is so wrong with fighting for a better, greener world anyway?

Dana Nuccitelli argues that conservative media coverage is to blame: Fox News found to be a major driving force behind global warming denial

I'd love to know your thoughts on the issue.

A Victim of Climate Change

A heart-breaking image to see. A beautiful noble creature broken due to the affects of climate change.

We are responsible for this harrowing image. It's our responsibility to try to prevent it from happening again ...and again.

From The Guardian:

Dr Ian Stirling, now at Polar Bears International, said the bear had been in apparently good health when it was examined by scientists in April in southern Svalbard. It was found dead three months later in northern Svalbard, far from its normal range. Stirling said most of the fjords in Svalbard did not freeze normally last winter, driving the bear further afield in the hunt for food. From his lying position in death, Stirling said, the bear appears to simply have starved and died where he dropped, having been reduced to little more than skin and bone. Arctic sea ice fell to its lowest recorded level in 2012, which scientists say is due to global warming.
