From this article below. The
point of the article is that critical thinking skills are the
determining factor. And that general skill used to be the focus of a
liberal arts education. It is no surprise that such training is being
eliminated from universities by corporate legislators and
administrators.
"Another significant contribution of this study was providing a better
understanding of the nature and structure of Americans’ support for
policies aimed at mitigating global climate change. [...] The finding that this occurs among the most educated respondents
indicates an important role for education in helping citizens navigate
the complexity of the political landscape. But it is not education of
domain-specific facts, which has been a long-time goal of climate change
scientists. Instead, it is more likely the critical thinking skills
associated with generalized educational advancement that can help
citizens form more stable opinions on this issue."
