NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HERE’S a scary fact about America: We’re much more likely to believe that there are signs that aliens have visited Earth (77 percent) than that humans are causing climate change (44 percent).

You don't have to stop believing in Jesus, Allah, the Buddha, or that Corporate executives are wonderful human beings that think only of the comfort and joy of their customers. Human caused global warming relies on science, and for many it asks them to either remove a layer of belief or change that layer in a way that contradicts their faith.
