climate-change advocates are largely failing to influence public opinion.A University using seemingly non-sensical terms like
- opponents of climate change
- climate-change advocates
- Climate-change foes
has surely left academic neutrality and clambered on board the Man Man Climate Change advocacy position. The terms really do not make sense.
As world leaders meet this week and next at a historic climate change summit in Paris, a new study by Michigan State University environmental scientists suggests opponents of climate change appear to be winning the war of words.
The research, funded by the National Science Foundation, finds that climate-change advocates are largely failing to influence public opinion. Climate-change foes, on the other hand, are successfully changing people’s minds – Republicans and Democrats alike – with messages denying the existence of global warming.The leader of the study is a sociologist, Aaron M. McCright.
As one aware that the man made climate change hypothesis has been falsified (many times), I find Mr McCright's terminology confusing.
