William D. Minor: Climate change denial as misdirected as fight against evolution
Recently The TCM channel showed “Inherit the Wind,” which depicts the Scopes Trial, a true story of the prosecution of a science teacher for exposing his class to Darwin’s theory of evolution. It caused me to compare that story to the refusal of some to accept the scientific proof that the earth is dangerously warming due to human activity. In the movie the villain was fundamentalist religion. In the present case, it is misguided conservatism.
