You can't make science go away by claiming not to believe in it or by characterizing the established science of climate change as "climate change religion." The religion that endangers us is deregulated capitalism, and Trump's administration is behaving like the Inquisition which accused Galileo of heresy because he was able to show that the earth moved around the sun, contrary to church dogma claiming the opposite. He was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life and his findings were suppressed. Eppur se muove, he said anyhow - "And yet it moves." As to climate change - "And yet it warms," no matter what the new Environmental Destruction Agency tells us. The oligarchs think they'll be safe from it, but they won't.
