What do conservatives stand to gain by denying scientific evidence to global warming?

Question

Find me a an article or research study published in a academic or scholarly journal where a scientist contradicts evidence for a human cause to global warming... (There are none) Any contradiction is based on opinion and not science, and is only published in the popular media....

Answer 1

Money.
The less corporations have to shell out for filters and environmentally friendly disposal solutions the more money their stock holders make.

It's exactly the same thing the tobacco industry did in ignoring scientific evidence that cigarettes were addictive and caused disease.

Of course....that money won't do them any good when they can't breathe and there's no clean water to drink.

Answer 2

I think people are a bit unrealistic when it comes to global warming. We can legislate all we like, but to make any kind of significant difference we've have to fundmentally change the way we live our lives. We'd have to eliminate 90% of the electricity we use. The effect of this would not only be monetary but will also cost lives.

People also don't realize how many leaps an bounds these companies have gone to provide environmentally friendly plants. Everytime they do come up with new processes and lower emissions, the standards change.

The targeting of CO2 is wholly different though. In order to reduce CO2 emissions we'd have to simply stop burning things. That's the only possible way. All carbon based fuels WILL produce CO2. So reducing the amount we create simply means burning less... which means using less electricity.... which means a lot of people will be without heat... which means many will die. They can't burn other things, they'd create more CO2.

Answer 3

Your question is flawed I don't think there are too many people that deny global warming what conservatives will argue is the amount, who is the cause and what can be done? Here are some facts, the earth has increase 1 1/2 degrees in the last hundred years. There has been increase solar activity in the last 12 years (sun getting hotter) so much so that the ice caps on Mars are receding this revelation might but a kibosh on your argument the earth has been going through warming and cooling cycle for eons, could this be another cycle? This is the difference between conservatives and liberals we look at the totality of the evidence you follow headlines.

Answer 4

"Scientists have no longer something to learn by making use of masking this up. Scientists do no longer all believe one yet another on issues, particularly a scientist could be rewarded in the event that they indirectly controlled to disprove climate substitute with information, however the ingredient is, the folk who deny climate substitute have not any scientific information on their part." This fact PROVES you haven't any longer any theory what you're talking approximately. technology is pushed by making use of study provides. in the adventure that your study would not slot in the type that the triumphing opinion of the college or industry in which you artwork, you will no longer get investment. for this reason, one in each and every of two issues occurs: a million. in simple terms study is finished that helps what the bosses have already desperate to be the very fact. 2. study it relatively is finished that looks to disprove the triumphing opinion of different scientists is suppressed. Edit: Weis: you won't be able to be that naive. of direction, study for... or against... international warming is obtainable. however the suppressed study against it is not truthfully accessible to the gullible lots who in simple terms knee-jerk react to the national releases and communicate exhibits that function the pro-international warming advocates. while you at the instant are not attempting to locate the "relax of the story," you in simple terms do no longer know it exists. those scientists won't be able to get a public talk board to share what they have got here upon. My husband and that i DO hunt for it.

Answer 5

I don't think that they are denying the evidence as much as they are bowing to big business WHO would have to spend big bucks to refit plants and make cars that pollute less etc. It is just like it is in the United States, conservatives denied and delayed and now they admit but they legislation they required to forestall pollution controls has gone through. Unless something earth shattering happens in Canadian politics, I believe that within a year the Conservatives will be out of power and we may get a Liberal Government that will re-enact kyoto.

Answer 6

Even fundamentalist Christians, which are conservative by nature, are catching on to this. Conservatives might want to preserve the value of their oil and coal company stocks. They should be moving the funds into solar power generation stocks, which have vastly more growth potential - they are missing the point that this is also an opportunity, and not just a problem.

Answer 7

If they can't rule the World, then no-one can, apparently.

It all comes down to that.

They just want the whole ******* world to themselves, & if they have to share with anyone else, then (in the words of the idiot Dick Cheney) "Let them eat ****."

So if there's no World, there is no competitiopn for them in the face of thier expansive shortcommings as World leaders.

Kinda like Hitler & the Nazis, don't ya think?

Answer 8

These people are lobbied by those corporations that contributed to global warming in the first place. Having conservative support in the gov. provides a buffer to protect the incomes of these companies; thus, allowing them to continue making money in the face of ecological destruction.

Don't get me wrong; liberal politicians have their companies, too.

Answer 9

Smugness from the blind belief that if Democrats think it is true, then it must not be.

The ironic thing is that if liberals are wrong but we took action anyway, we'd end up with cleaner air, cheaper energy alternatives, conserved species and environments, good karma; but if we do nothing and the conservatives are wrong, we get death, destruction, and climate upheavals.

Answer 10

A lot of the Republican Party's funds come from big business. In turn, the Republican politicians do the businesspeople favors by "deregulating" measures that are meant to ensure worker and consumer safety and protection of the environment.
