Douglas specified that believing in and understanding climate change doesn’t make you a liberal – it just means you’re literate: We are writing a book geared to conservatives and evangelical Christians, helping them connect the dots and telling them why they should pay attention to, why they should not dismiss this. As I tell people, acknowledging the science, the data, acknowledging that climate change is real doesn’t make you liberal, it makes you literate. It means you’re scientifically literate. You respond to data and facts and not conspiracy theories and fairy tales. He heads up the Evangelical Environmental Network. They do a lot of lobbying. They helped to get the whole mercury rollover, cleaning power plants. His thrust is that it’s affecting kids’ health today. The poorest are first to [suffer the impact]. The 1 percent can move. This really is the global civil rights movement of the 21st century.

He’s a respected climate scientist who’s dedicated decades of his life to understanding weather and climate, and has been a pioneer in developing new technology to assist others as well. But just imagine how much better off this country would be if conservatives did respond to data and facts instead of conspiracy theories and fairy tales. I think that sums up the problem with the Republican party in general. Far too many of them believe in asinine conspiracy theories pushed by people like Rush Limbaugh as opposed to proven scientific data supported by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson.
