I would wager that more than a few are climate deniers only because it's politically expedient. The Trump era of US politics has revealed how quickly many politicians will fall in line when necessary to retain their political power. I'm sure it's always been this way, but it's been painfully obvious the past few years with Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, etc... reversing course when it's clear not doing so will cost them their power. Vonnegut's novel "Mother Night" (one of my favorites) warns: > "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be".
