Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc

Saw this headline in my Facebook newsfeed earlier today:  "Study finds belief in free market economics predicts rejection of science."

A sample:

Those who rejected climate change appeared to be more accepting of conspiracy theories in general. Belief that the moon landing was actually staged on Earth, that the government allowed the 9/11 terrorist attacks occur so they could invade the Middle East, and other conspiracy theories predicted rejection of climate change.

Oh, I see.  So those with beliefs that mostly typify the extreme left believe in free market economics and are rejecting science... .

I also thought up a similar headline: "Baseball player hits home run,  causes rain to fall."
