Why so many who doubt climate change here?
- stephengillie 11y agoAbout 1/2 of this article is about the reporter discovering people with his last name living nearby, and trying to contact them. The rest of this rambling tale shows Oklahomans as either backwards disbelievers that cling to their beliefs in the face of evidence, or jaded cynics who see politicians and environmentalists saying one thing and doing another. At one point the reporter found a high schooler, who believed in climate change but didn't want to feel responsible. And that seems to be the thesis of the article - that a lot of climate change deniers aren't denying climate change, they're denying that their little body and little car could possibly impact this great-big planet Earth, and so something else must be going on.
