    The framing of this as a difference of opinion or view bothers me. You wouldn’t use this framing for a math problem, “Partisans divided on 1+1=2” , because it perpetuates the idea that there are two reasonable sides. Media needs to start being more responsible in framing these findings, how about “Republicans more likely to be wrong about causes of extreme weather”.

      Sure, but the media isn’t going to be responsible about this so long as it’s owned by the same companies that are profiting off of environmental destruction.
