Yesterday, I appeared on MSNBCโs Now with Alex Wagner to talk about The Republican Brain. It was largely an interview about whatโs going on with conservatives and science right nowโwhy they distrust it so muchโbut S.E. Cupp, the conservative on the panel, called my argumentย โinfuriating.โ
Then, she proceeded to attack climate science and the researchers who produce itโdoing a very good job of proving my point about conservatives and science! Brad Johnson has provided a transcript at Think Progress (video belowย it):
CUPP:ย There have been, to quote Rick Santorum, phony studies on climate change. East Anglia University I should mention!
WAGNER: And that study โ
CUPP:ย Every time science has been corrupted by politics, everyone in the scientific community should beย worried!
