That only 28 percent of the far right trust scientists on the subject of, well, you know, SCIENCE is extraordinary. Hamilton thinks that the right-wing echo chamber is leading climate deniers to break up with scientists in general. "Climate change is sort of bleeding over into a lower trust in science across a range of issues," says Hamilton. That means the consequences are not limited to the climate issue. "The critiques of climate science work by often arguing that science is corrupt, and then that spills over to other kinds of science," Hamilton observes. His observation is supported by a study that found regular watching of Fox News, in particular, leads to a declining trust in climate scientists.
