Nadawcy radiowi i telewizyjni zarzucają naukowcom zajmującym się klimatem „promowanie mistyfikacji globalnego ocieplenia”, zalecając „ujawnienie ich nazwisk i zwolnienie z pracy, powołanie do wojska i zamknięcie w koszarach” (Rush Limbaugh); popełnienie „hara kiri” (Glenn Beck); i „publiczne wychłostanie” (Mark Morano). Konserwatywne media odgrywają kluczową rolę w promowaniu sceptycyzmu wobec zmian klimatu, którą to postawę obserwuje się najczęściej pośród białych mężczyzn z klasy średniej. Pytanie brzmi, dlaczego klasa średnia nadal popiera „radykalne” propozycje? W artykule zaproponowano spojrzenie na ten temat z perspektywy antyintelektualizmu. Postawa ta pozwala wyjaśnić, dlaczego retoryka promująca sceptycyzm wobec zmian klimatu znajduje poparcie pośród „radykałów z amerykańskiej klasy średniej” (ang. MARS = Middle American Radicals).
