Well, we all know correlation =/= causation, but the correlation at least is undeniable.
Another interesting parallel I have since stumbled upon is that both climate-change-denialists and evolution-denialists have compiled lists of scientists in completely unrelated fields who dissent from the scientific consensus as though the fact that someone has a degree in engineering(or interior design, or whatever) makes them any more qualified than any other non-expert.
I will refrain from linking to these lists(usually several hundred or so scientists in the cases of both climate and evolution denialists) and simply link to
Project Steve, which I think clearly demonstrates why these lists are useless and misleading.
Also, fun coincidental factoid, Obama-appointed Secretary of Energy
Steven Chu was one of the first signatories to Project Steve.
