Republicans and their corporate masters for years have been trying to keep the truth about climate change from reaching the American public. They work tirelessly to tell us that the earth isn’t getting hotter; or that there is no scientific consensus that global climate change is real; or even that climate change is a GOOD thing because its going to open up shipping routes in the arctic. Their latest efforts, however, go far beyond their usual tactics, as they’re now trying to get their anti-science agenda taught in public schools. Mike Papantonio discusses this issue with author Chris Mooney.
