Study Finds 5 Ways Conservative Media Erode Trust In Scientists

A new study shows five ways conservative media decrease trust in scientists, leading their audience to doubt climate change.

But the study, by the Yale Project on Climate Communication, concludes that it's actually the other way around: conservative media consumers don't believe in scientists, therefore they don't believe in global warming.
