    Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

    Question is, who do you want in charge?

    The world will end if I am not given power. Never forget that fact.

    Because there is zero evidence humans are having a large direct impact in the climate.

    Your side has been busted time and time again faking temperatures to back your claims and you would pretend that's science.

    And how many failed predictions your fake science has made and yet you still come back to the church each and every week like good little lemmings.

    You don't believe in science. You believe in your religious belief not science.

    Climate Change Alarmism is the creation of the left and politics. Climate Change theories bases on real science are not equivalent to leftist beliefs on GW.

    I don't wet the bed over climate change. If that makes me "superior" to some people that's something I think I can live with. lol

    Global warming/cooling cannot be refuted. The impact humans have on the rate of climate change is the issue and scientists always seem to come to a conclusion that those who fund them are looking for. You simply can't make someone believe something if their living is based on not believing.

    Just remember this. All the far lefties who claim they believe in science at the same time believe homoseuxality is genetic and a person can change their gender by simply declaring it.

    I know no one who denies the climate changes. It's climate change that removed the glaciers that once covered much of North America. The issue is whether humans cause climate change and whether the government can control the weather and the answer to both is no. It is amusing that the leftists who pretend to be the party of science say a person born with a penis and testicles might be a woman and a fetus in the eighth month of gestation is not a baby.

    Here is the kicker. Thus far, no scientist has proved a harm occurs with warming. They have earlier enormous warmings to use as evidence. Where was the harm much earlier when Greenland warmed?

    Brexx WRONG It means you are more gullible by believing physical evidence like the Maersk shipping line now preparing to cut 4 days off the Atlantic to Pacific shipping route by sailing around the North Pole because ice is no longer the threat it was a few years ago.

    On the other hand, if the country brings lots of immigration in and becomes poorer, in the long-term public opinion will care less about environmental issues, because so many people will be poor and more focused just on struggling to make ends meet.

    This is the mindset in Brazil and Indonesia, where rainforest land continues to be cut down. They see it as a trade-off between environmentalism and employment in their economies, since they have a lot of poverty.

    We are not being overrun by those who care much about climate nor a clean planet.

    Why is it gullible to believe that? Is it wrong?

    I would say it's far more strongly linked to a personal interest in maintaining a certain lifestyle. Lefties have the same interest, but think because they bleat about the saving the planet, they're exempt from changing theirs.

    The Typical Democrat inhabits a major city. And there they are exposed to elevators, small apartments, no cars, ride public transit, so they think they are innocent yet blame those of us living where we can walk to a park, walk to the grocery store or perhaps milk the cows or own a herd of animals and enjoy days of fresh air.

    Then they whine when we protest.

    Quit the city. Be better for their health.

    Funny that SCIENtists mostly think that climate changes are real and that experts in climate changes are called climate SCIENTIST. Did you ever stop to think that if scientists disagree with you, you could be the one putting forth pseudo-science? I guess not. Asking yourself that question is probably not how your brain works.

    The reason why white nationalist would deny climate change is probably the same reason you don't stop to think that you are motivated by pseudoscience. They are people who don't like things to change, because their brain is less flexible. It's the same reason right wing people are less likely to be for immigration or gay marriage or women's rights. They are also more likely to be religious (rigid doctrine, helps with fear). It's also why they are rarely artists. And seem to more often denies science. Science is about being open to new ideas.

    "Among women who were highly liberal, 62 percent were carriers of certain receptor genotypes that have prexviously been associated with such traits as extroversion and novelty seeking. Meanwhile, among highly conservative women, the proportion was only 37.5 percent."

    “Perhaps high-novelty seekers are more willing to entertain the idea of change, including in the political sphere,” says the study's lead author, Richard Ebstein, a molecular geneticist at the National University of Singapore.

    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-genes-of-left-and-right/

    "Brain scans show that people who self-identify as conservative have larger and more active right amygdalas, an area of the brain that's associated with expressing and processing fear. This aligns with the idea that feeling afraid makes people lean more to the right."

    "...when feeling stuck on a problem, liberals were much more likely to draw upon a sudden burst of insight — an 'aha' moment, like a lightbulb turning on in the brain.
    This didn't mean that the liberals were any smarter than the conservatives. Rather, it showed that their brains had a tendency to reorganize their thoughts in more flexible ways, while the conservatives tended to take a more step-by-step approach."

    Yup, more willing to entertain the idea of change - even change for the worse. In fact, more willing to entertain any idea - even stupid ones.
    As I said in an earlier post, they are more gullible.
