He’s referring to GOP Sen. James Inhofe, who used a snowball to disprove global warming. President Barack Obama told Vice News in an interview released on Monday that it was “disturbing” that the chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works denied the existence of climate change. Obama was referring to Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who threw a snowball on the Senate floor earlier this month to help make his case that climate change isn’t real. Even though Inhofe cited record low temperatures across the country as evidence that climate change was overplayed, the country has actually been experiencing a warmer than average winter. “That’s disturbing,” Obama said when Vice’s Shane Smith pointed out that the stunt would have been funny if it weren’t for Inhofe’s chairmanship.

New research offers some fascinating clues. Are religion and end times thinking now wrapped up with the denial of global warming? Igor Zh./Shutterstock All across the country—most recently, in the state of Texas—local battles over the teaching of evolution are taking on a new complexion. More and more, it isn’t just evolution under attack, it’s also the teaching of climate science. The National Center for Science Education, the leading group defending the teaching of evolution across the country, has even broadened its portfolio: Now, it protects climate education too. How did these issues get wrapped up together? On its face, there isn’t a clear reason—other than a marriage of convenience—why attacks on evolution and attacks on climate change ought to travel side by side. After all, we know why people deny evolution: Religion, especially the fundamentalist kind. And we know why people deny global warming: Free market ideology and libertarianism. These are not, last I checked, the same thing. (If anything, libertarians may be the most religiously skeptical group on the political right.) And yet clearly there’s a relationship between the two issue stances. If you’re in doubt, watch this Climate Desk video of a number of members of Congress citing religion in the context of questioning global warming: Indeed, recent research suggests that Christian “end times” believers are less likely to see a need for action on global warming. And now new research by Yale’s Dan Kahan further reaffirms that there’s something going on here. More specifically, Kahan showed that there is a correlation (.25, which is weak to modest, but significant) between a person’s religiosity and his or her tendency to think that global warming isn’t much of a risk. Perhaps even more tellingly, Kahan also found that among highly religious individuals, as their ability to comprehend science increases, so does their denial of the risk posed by global warming. Here’s some data he presented: Among the highly religious, more science comprehension translates into less concern about global warming. Dan Kahan There are two major possibilities. And there is probably some truth to both of them.”I have to say, those effects are bigger than I would have expected,” wrote Kahan of his findings. The researcher went on to say that he isn’t sure why greater religiosity predicts greater denial of climate change. But in his data—with a representative sample of over 2,000 Americans—it clearly does. There is the “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” theory. In other words, anti-evolutionists and climate deniers were both getting dumped on so much by the scientific community that they sort of naturally joined forces. And that makes sense: We know that in general, people gather their issue stances in bunches, because those stances travel together in a group (often under the aegis of a political party). But there’s also the “declining trust in science” theory, according to which political conservatives have, in general, become distrustful of the scientific community (we have data showing this is the case), and this has infected how they think about several different politicized scientific issues. And who knows: Perhaps the distrust started with the evolution issue. It is easy to imagine how a Christian conservative who thinks liberal scientists are full of it on evolution would naturally distrust said scientists on other issues as well. Further research will no doubt unravel what’s going on here. In the meantime, we can simply observe: In the political science wars that have wracked America for well over a decade, both sides are consolidating their forces.

Is it a bike? Is it a part fallen from the International Space Station? It’s not exactly Ed Begley Jr.’s self-satisfaction-powered go-cart, but it’s close: an ultra-greenelectric bike so festooned with solar panels it looks like it fell off of the International Space Station. The Solar-Cross concept cycle is a one-off invention from Terry Hope, a former schooner engineer who lives near Vancouver, British Columbia. Hope cobbled together the earth-loving thingamajig from a mountain bike, a 1,000-watt motor, yards of wire and black tape, and 32 photovoltaic cells weighing about 5 pounds together. He claims that the resulting 48-pound ride is the “world’s lightest hybrid solar vehicle.” The cost for all the components is roughly $500; just don’t ride under any low bridges, or you might have to ante up some more for repairs. See the whole story at Atlantic Cities.
