ABC News Correspondent Gets It Right: "Climate Change Isn't A Religion. Climate Change Is Science"

EDIT

On Tuesday, Thompson clears the air in a program called Changing Planet, which will be broadcast on The Weather Channel at 9 PM EST. This is the second show of a three-part series, which focuses on why the United States is falling behind other countries in the area of clean energy developments. SmartPlanet interviewed NBC News’ Anne Thomspon to find out her views on clean energy and climate change.

SmartPlanet: What concerns you most about energy and climate change?

AT: As a reporter, I think climate change is still a very confusing subject for the public to comprehend. I can’t tell you the number of times I have heard the question “do you believe in climate change?”

Climate change is not a religion. Climate change is science.

There is plenty of evidence that the earth is warming, that the chemistry of the oceans is changing, that growing zones in our country are creeping northward. The question is not “do you believe in climate change?” but “what, if anything, are we going to do about it?”

1. You can't change stupid - per a cowboy comedian

At least I think it was a cowboy comedian that coined that phrase during the Bush era. Don't confuse the religious right with facts.
