Conversation: In February 2013, the journal Frontiers in Psychology published a peer-reviewed paper which found that people who reject climate science are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. Predictably enough, those people didn't like it. The paper, which I helped to peer-review, is called "Recursive fury: Conspiracist ideation in the blogosphere in response to research on conspiracist ideation'. In it, cognitive scientist Stephan Lewandowsky and his colleagues survey and analyze the outcry generated...

The science is unequivocal. And those who refuse to believe it are simply burying their heads in the sand, he said in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Associated Press: Climate change may be the world's "most fearsome" weapon of mass destruction and urgent global action is needed to combat it, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday, comparing those who deny its existence or question its causes to people who insist the Earth is flat. In a speech to Indonesian students, civic leaders and government officials in Jakarta, Kerry laid into climate change skeptics, accusing them of using shoddy science and scientists to delay measures needed to reduce emissions...
