"Why does the right hate expertise? The rejection of science, like so much of the U.S. political landscape, has a lot to do with the influence of the fossil fuel industry. Warnings about climate change threatened that industry’s profits, so it was necessary to attack climate science, and this generalized into hostility toward scientific research as a whole." https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-apotheosis-of-willful-ignorance
