What To Do (And What Not To Do) About Climate Deniers
I don’t want to see climate deniers in public office any more that Leonardo DiCaprio, but I disagree with him here.
Restricting people from government who are unscientific in their thinking is an unsupportable idea, if only because it’s unconstitutional. Hell, the second in line to the U.S. presidency has no more use for science than does a speckled trout.
If you want change here, you need an educated voter base that will not accept gross ignorance in the leaders it elects.
One could say that Dicaprio is right — because the way you
“don’t allow them to hold public office” — is to make sure they are defeated at the ballot box in honest elections.
Disagree with that.
