Why is it the people who deny global warming happen to be conservative?

Question

I thought Republicans were supposed to be the party of logic, the people who thought with their heads not with their hearts, whats the deal?
No Scientist I've met has ever disagreed with the concept of global warming , expect one fellow i used to know, but then again he's now in prison for manufacturing Ecstasy.

Answer 1

They have no logic or rational thought on this subject.

Not one reasonable response with actual hard evidence. Why? Because there is none.

Just too stubborn to admit they're wrong. Just like fearless leader I guess...

BTW scorbore's links above are all bogus (except one) he posts them to every global warming question. Here's the definitive link;

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

EDIT; Hey Scorbore dates don't mean anything. Do you even know the scientific standard of publication by peer review? Only one of your links was a peer reviewed publication. All 928 of mine were. So, which do you believe your 1 or my 928 :)

Answer 2

False, assumption some conservatives do think Global Warming is a problem. The problem is goverment distorts incentives towards economic growth towards comsumption at the expense of investment for new technologies for Global Warming, Instead of giving income tax breaks. Give tax breaks for people willing to give up a car, people willing to use more energy efficent technology your thier homes, offices. Probadly reduce captial accumilation taxes towards investments, and start to shift the tax burder to people waste energy carbon taxes, and punititive taxes on cars that get less than 30 mph a Gallon. Not all Freemarket conversvaties buy the Big Oil Arguement. To reduce energy really gotta stop taxing wealth, and start to tax waste of land, water, energy, but big interest groups in all countries will throw logs in the way to prevent it from happening. Its a trade would you rather have less cars on the road, small houses, more dense communties its a trade off society has not thought about really.

Answer 3

First reply : Only whilst liberals admit they're chumps for believing the hype. Second reply: The identical humans who can best provide me a wager which approach a typhoon will pass, will it rain at present or what temperature it's going to be subsequent week desire me to feel they may be able to expect the elements one hundred years from now. The guy that proposed the thought Al Gore used overtly admits he used to be flawed and did not desire Gore to make use of his information. *Update** Who stated I used to be a conservative? You are making fake accusations now. Looking at ALL the knowledge we've got at present we can not expect with one hundred% accuracy if it's going to rain tomottow but the scientists factor to 1 gasoline, a few melting ice and swear it is local weather difference! These are the identical humans that stated we have been heading closer to the following Ice Age again at the 1980's, they usually used "technological know-how" to justify it and anybody that disagreed used to be known as dull. Now what are they pronouncing? Can you provide an explanation for the emerging temperatures on Mars, Pluto, Saturn and Triton? Is that "local weather difference" guy made? Or did the Sun do it? Those celectrial gadgets have warmed up the identical quantity as Earth! It ought to be guy made! Can you provide an explanation for the construct up of ice at the south pole? I idea this used to be "Global Warming"? Can you provide an explanation for the that NASA has stated the freshest 12 months used to be 1934, whilst there weren't as many humans or autos (no SUVs!)? Does your manufacturer of "technological know-how" reply the ones questions or are you performed amassing information and sticking for your end, similar to they did within the Eighties? **Update two** one million. Your query used to be approximately conservitives and directed closer to the studying viewers. Simple rule of course in English writing. two. I too love the way you CO2 hoax believers are not able to provide an explanation for how "Global Warming" is honestly inflicting extra Ice construct up then in years beyond. It is on account that they are not able to provide an explanation for why the complete globe isn't honestly warming up they transformed the name of the trouble to "local weather difference". I wager if the hen flu and Y2K malicious program do not get you the "local weather difference" will! three. The different planents. How do you provide an explanation for the opposite planents in our sun approach have warmed up close to up to the Earth over the identical final 30 years? Maybe the primary motive of Global Warming, sorry, "local weather difference" is the Sun? four. The coming Ice age used to be talked approximately within the Nineteen Seventies and Eighties. I on no account pinned down an detailed date however you knew what I used to be speakme approximately. Also, guy made "local weather difference" isn't universally accepeted, the knowledge isn't performed coming in. It is silly to leap and scream earlier than all is alleged and performed. To accomplish that isn't medical, it is alarmist. five. I would possibly not e mail you. I do not tea bag, I potato sack! Good success with the Kool Aid. **Update three** Did you simply deny that the Sun warms the planets? Did you simply deny that the Sun is a supply of warmth?

Answer 4

Dizz's Science Magazine link trumps all of Scorbore's sources easily.

Do we know all there is to know about our changing climate & what is causing it? Of course not.
Is there a growing body of credible scientific data that points to a "global warming" trend? Definetely!
Will the theory & explanation of the mechanics of "global warming" change with the collection of more scientific data? Of course.

We human beings shouldn't keep burying our heads in the sand & deny there is a problem.

Answer 5

The problem here is that I just do not understand that people like you and I would deny the fact of Global warming because it is our world that is being threatened. The Republican heirarchy, can and do deny it's validity because they make a lot of money in abusing nature. Doesn't it show you a level of indoctrination? Thank heavens we are not sheep, right?

Answer 6

Beecuz we is all stooped.

Seriously, I don't deny global warming, but I also don't buy into the whole gloom and doom around it. In the 70s, the "scientific community" was all up in arms about the fact that we were entering another ice age and would all freeze to death.

Has man had an impact? Of course. But how much of what is going on is man-made, and how much is just the earth's natural cycle? No one knows - that's why I don't buy into "the sky is falling!"

Answer 7

Because global warming is a myth... it's just a political tactic used by the Democrats

Answer 8

I've read quotes from respected climatologists who dispute that Man is causing anything like that

Answer 9

The temperature of the earth has varied for billions of years.30 years ago people(libtards) were screaming about the coming ice age.

Answer 10

Well, you haven't meant many scientists

Hey Dizz, look at the answer above you! :)

EDIT: Hey Dizz, check the dates. :) I think 3 of mine have a date after the one you have, :)
