Don't Like Science? Then Ban It

  This is one of the most egregious forms of willful ignorance ever.

Guardian UK: North Carolina didn't like science on sea levels … so passed a law against it - In 2012, the state whose low-lying coast lies in the path of Hurricane Florence reacted to a prediction of catastrophically rising seas by banning policies based on such forecasts
The legislation drew ridicule, including a mocking segment by comedian Stephen Colbert, who said: “If your science gives you a result you don’t like, pass a law saying the result is illegal. Problem solved.”
