Nowhere is ideologically homogeneous. Stupidity is always a majority and the easiest to amplify.
The problems here are far more complex.
Don't you fucking "they" me.
I don't think people believe that climate change doesn't exist. I think they just think it's either caused by natural factors or not as dangerous. I bet that 90% of the people are aware of the climate change.

You can argue Inhofe is being cynical, but there's plenty of O&G heads in his district who make more money as denialists than serious inquisitors.
If they officially changed the name, then that would probably affect a shitton of laws, contracts, treaties, government policies, and who knows what else that reference the "gulf of Mexico"
Why not call it gulf of Spain? And while we’re at it they can have Florida back.
Oh oh, Mr Frost-- do LA next please! Preferably now!
