Actually, the one percenters love the easily deluded sheep like the creationists. They are easy to fool.
from the article. Nye is correct of course.
Today every member of the GOP controlling the Senate, House and their state governors are all de facto mutant capitalists, thanks to big money donations, and like robots all linked to one master machine that renders them incapable of independent thinking when it comes to their lockstep march as climate-science deniers.
Yes, they’re mindless robots at odds with over 2,500 scientists who now warn, after more than two decades of research, that they are 97% “certain humans are causing climate change, that the damage is accelerating 10 times faster than the past 65 million years and soon we will self-destruct our civilization and disappear like dinosaurs, forever.”
Bill Nye “the science guy” is the new warrior challenging antiscience robotic senators like the GOP’s James Inhofe, who’ll soon be chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Nye says America needs a new generation of leaders savvy in science and technology. Inhofe and fellow Republicans are Luddites trapped in a 19th century Wild West time warp. Fortunately Bill Nye, “the science guy” believes that while deniers are a lost cause, too incapable of rational thinking, their kids are not.
Nye’s “biggest concern is about creationist kids” whose parents are science deniers. “They’re compelled to suppress their common sense, to suppress their critical-thinking skills at a time in human history,” Nye recently told New York Times reviewer Jeffery DelViscio about his new book, “Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation.”
Big Oil billionaires, GOP lobbyists, creationists are all science deniers
Get it? There’s a clear connection between creationism, climate-science denial, conservative politicians and free-market capitalism. And it all comes together in Oklahoma’s GOP Sen. James Inhofe, author of “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.” Inhofe relies on divine guidance: “God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.”
