“Science/Gravity/Global warming/Climate change doesn’t care if you believe in it or not” is a saying that has been printed on several images. The saying means that there are scientific facts, whether one believes in (or understands) those facts or not.
 
“When a man falls off a roof or a stepladder it is not the fault of gravity, although it is gravity that makes him fall. Gravity doesn’t care whether he falls or not—it is on the job to perform its function continuously” was printed in the St. Louis (MO) Post-Dispatch on March 6, 1942. “Life, like gravity, doesn’t care whether you approve of it or not; it goes on anyway. You can love it, hate it, believe in it, reject it, etc., and no matter how much you change it, the substance remains the same” was printed in the Los Angeles (CA) Times on August 25, 1977. “Gravity doesn’t care who we are or what our motives may be when we step out of a tenth-story window: it pulls down” was printed in the book Sports Illusion, Sports Reality:
A reporter’s view of sports, journalism, and society (1981) by Leonard Koppett.
 
“There’s a kind of saying that you don’t understand its meaning, ‘I don’t believe it. It’s too crazy. I’m not going to accept it.’… You’ll have to accept it. It’s the way nature works” was said by American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988) in 1979. “As the great American physicist Richard Feynman said so pithily many years ago: ‘Science doesn’t care if you’re happy or you’re not. Science doesn’t care if you believe in it or not. Science just is’” was printed in The Record (Kitchener, ON) on February 14, 2005. However, there is no evidence that Feynman influenced the sayings in their current forms.

Wikiquote: Richard Feynman
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American physicist. In the International Phonetic Alphabet his surname is rendered [ˈfaɪnmən], the first syllable sounding like “fine”. Many of the quotes here were delivered by Feynman orally in lectures or interviews. Published versions of these oral statements are necessarily cleaned up by editors, and different editors might clean up the same statement differently. This accounts for the variations encountered.

There’s a kind of saying that you don’t understand its meaning, ‘I don’t believe it. It’s too crazy. I’m not going to accept it.’… You’ll have to accept it. It’s the way nature works. If you want to know how nature works, we looked at it, carefully. Looking at it, that’s the way it looks. You don’t like it? Go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler, philosophically more pleasing, more psychologically easy. I can’t help it, okay? If I’m going to tell you honestly what the world looks like to the human beings who have struggled as hard as they can to understand it, I can only tell you what it looks like.

Law.
When a man falls off a roof or a stepladder it is not the fault of gravity, although it is gravity that makes him fall. Gravity doesn’t care whether he falls or not—it is on the job to perform its function continuously. That is the way with astrological influences: they perform their administration of natural justice, bringing to man the consequences of his own decisions—the right ones and the wrong.

Science doesn’t care what you believe, and doesn’t require your approval to continue its work.  However, our nation would be better if its voters were informed, rational grown-ups instead of ignorant primitives.  Everyone should be taught what the scientific community has to say about origins.  What they do with it is their own business.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a speech delivered on the Senate floor yesterday, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), a member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the Senate Climate Action Task Force, continued his call for action to tackle climate change.
 
Below are Senator Heinrich’s remarks as prepared for delivery:

Climate change is an urgent issue, said Christopher D’Lima, president of Red Deer’s chapter of The Council of Canadians, a social-action agency.
 
“There’s an old saying: ‘Climate change doesn’t care if you believe in it or not, it’s going to happen.’ So let’s be realistic and take a look at what other alternatives there are, rather than continuing on the same path,” said D’Lima.
