Chip Berlet, Right-Wing Social Movements and Satanism Claims
Writer Chip Berlet presented a haiku on climate change and discussed his research into right-wing social movements. Berlet claimed that a segment of the Republican base has been groomed since the 1800s to reject science, collectivism, and big government. He further alleged that some fundamentalists view climate scientists as "agents of Satan" as part of an apocalyptic worldview.
