How likely is a person going to believe Climate change if they get their news from FOX?

Clearly FOX is a far right "news" source, where propaganda is covered as real news

Update:

Some malcontent keeps moving the question. IT WAS MEANT TO BE IN GLOBAL WARMING

    not likely

    But if they watch FOX news, they probably think the Earth is flat and Obama is a communist plot.

    Actually, in general, multiple studies have shown that people who watch Fox "News" know LESS about what's going on, than people who don't follow ANY news.

    And, yes, the right-wing propaganda machine persists in denying the reality of global warming; and, yes, probably most of their audience are deniers.

    Of course, they aren't consistent, as sometimes they admit it's happening, but just deny that our having pumped over a quadrillion tons of carbon into the atmosphere has anything to do with it.

    The problem is of course that people seem to think this is a 'religious experience', Climate Change isn't something you believe, or not, it's in the Data, it's factual, and it's happening at an ever increasing rate, a rate that can be linked directly to our pollution(which is why it's also proven to be our fault).
