Yesterday, I appeared on MSNBCโ€™s Now with Alex Wagner to talk about The Republican Brain. It was largely an interview about whatโ€™s going on with conservatives and science right nowโ€”why they distrust it so muchโ€“but S.E. Cupp, the conservative on the panel, called my argumentย โ€œinfuriating.โ€

Then, she proceeded to attack climate science and the researchers who produce itโ€”doing a very good job of proving my point about conservatives and science! Brad Johnson has provided a transcript at Think Progress (video belowย it):

CUPP:ย There have been, to quote Rick Santorum, phony studies on climate change. East Anglia University I should mention!
WAGNER: And that study โ€“
CUPP:ย Every time science has been corrupted by politics, everyone in the scientific community should beย worried!
