Join the Humanist Forum, in person OR on Zoom.<\/p>\n

This Sunday we will discuss a 20-minute 2020 video on \u201cWhy Climate Denial Still Exists in the U.S.\u201d
\nClimate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns caused by human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels.
\nDespite overwhelming scientific evidence, some American politicians continue to deny that climate change exists, while others question the severity of its impact. But public opinion is shifting, and today even oil and gas companies publicly admit that climate change demands action. So why does climate denialism continue to influence U.S. politics? Here’s a look into who is funding the movement, and why denial is mainly a U.S. problem.

\nThe following Sunday Nicolas Little of the Center for Inquiry will talk to us on Zoom about quack medicine.<\/p>\n
