I would say that unfortunately it's a product of the new media.
The fact that there are now so many channels for information mean that people with an axe to grind (cough, energy industry, cough cough) can direct misinformation through media outlets that are read by people with certain ideologies.
I don't know how else to explain the disconnect between what mainstream scientists believe and the seemingly firmly held beliefs of pretty much *every* conservative that global warming is a load of BS. It really does split pretty evenly down ideological lines, very strange for a debate that should be grounded in science.
And you guys are expecting me to believe that 60-some million Exxon spent on media and lobbying had no impact, huh?
