    I knew some unsuspecting rube would stumble on to the right answer and you were the one I was waiting for. Vote for politicians who claim they will fight global warming you said and who might those "politicians" be? Why Democrats of course. Thanks for answering my question. What do you want us to do after we become true believers? Vote Democrat.

    And we have a second place rube who also admits once we join up they expect us to reject the right and embrace the left.

    I read it. The thing is polls suggest that there is a significant percentage of Republicans that accept climate science and that percentage is increasing.

    Nice try but the fact is once you buy in you are expected to vote for the party that says they will save us from global warming and guess who that is. You are also expected to ditch the party that by and large thinks it's a hoax and guess who that is. Not to mention you are supposed to immediately turn on our president and guess who that is.

    Democrats and Republicans disagree: Carbon taxes

    "By the time the party’s draft 2016 platform emerged from the final regional committee meeting in Orlando, it contained a robust section on environmental issues in general and climate change in particular. One of the many amendments adopted in Orlando contains the following sentence: “Democrats believe that carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases should be priced to reflect their negative externalities, and to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy and help meet our climate goals.” In plain English, there should be what amounts to a tax (whatever it may be called) on the atmospheric emissions principally responsible for climate change, including but not limited to CO2."

    As opposed to...

    "At this time last year, Republican opposition to carbon taxes seemed like a sure thing. In May 2016, as he was securing the party’s presidential nomination, Donald Trump tweeted: “I will not support or endorse a carbon tax!” One month later, House Republicans unanimously voted for a nonbinding resolution that rejected the idea of a carbon tax."

    So tell me sir, who are you as a true believer going to be voting for?

    There will be a limit though. Conservatism is linked to the authoritarian personality which, by definition, is suspicious of science (and educated comment)

    And another true believer inadvertently spills the beans. Once you believe you must accept the fact that conservatives are anti science and you must vote against them.

    It took a while but the flood Gates are open. LOL

    Mere reference to the psychological testing of the authoritarian personality. Haven't you come across it before?

    You are admitting that once you believe you are supposed to vote against conservatives and have answered the question in the OP. Thank you.

    Nope. I'm referring to the psychological research, where experiments have consistently linked the authoritarian personality with conservatism. I'll ask again: haven't you come across this research before?

    Yet another attempt to derail a thread that the cult doesn't want to deal with and yet another time I reject the bait. As I said you answered my question even if it was inadvertently, thank you.

    Dumb-assed reply on your part. You post a troll thread about what you can do if you decide to accept the problem of climate change and your answer is you can't because you need to support politicians who don't believe in climate change. Moronic troll thread.

    That was my answer? LMAO
    I have no answer I just asked a question and the cult sat on it's hands a couple days but as I knew would happen the answer just sort of slipped out. The answer to the question in the OP is once you believe, it's time to switch parties and give Democrats your vote. Only they can and will save us from this impending catastrophe of C02 "pollution".

    You can't seem to respond to any of the posts. I've merely referred to the psychological evidence into the limits of accepting scientific thought. Have a look at the research and get back to me when you can derive coherent argument.

    Start a thread on it I'll play. Sounds like an interesting debate but it's not the subject of this thread and your attempt to derail is once again noted and rejected.

    Again, it was perfectly on-track. There will necessarily be a constraint to the 'scientific consensus' catch-up by the Republicans.

    Another pathetic dodge on your part. I never mentioned switching parties. There are a number of Republican politicians who believe climate change is a real problem. This was a troll thread from the start.

    Is that the answer you dreamed up when starting the thread or did you think it up while avoiding answers and dismissing data?

    It would seem you should be less blatant when you hide under bridges.

    Why Republicans Still Reject the Science of Global Warming
    Only one major political party in the world denies climate change, and it’s in charge of the most important political body in the world

    In other words believe first vote Democrat second.

    I did indeed know the answer to the question posed in the OP when I asked it and I also knew true believers would try desperately not to answer it and I also knew in time one would slip up an inadvertantly answer it as happened. I also knew after this happened other true believers would rush in to try and stop the bleeding but would only succeed in opening the artery further.

    From my post #12 guess you were not paying attention.


    "There is an answer to my question in the OP and I know what it is as do many AGW pushers but they don't want to say it. Maybe in time one of you that know the answer will buck up and spit it out or one of those that are completely fooled and actually dont know the answer will blunder into it by accident. Time will tell. Until then I'm through debating this pointless topic because we are talking around the real agenda that lies beneath the surface".


    The real agenda is to get you to vote Democrat

    I don't think they are believers. I think they have the mentality of the storm trooper or the dictator. They will bully and bully expecting to control me and you. That is their end game. Control.

    So what do I mean?

    Look at the tiny autos. They caused that. Look at the extra expense to build a home. They caused it. Look at the plethora of laws. They caused those. That is their end game. Tie the fly up in a web and he can't escape. This is all about web construction. Same with the gun issue. Law piled upon law is not to prevent deaths. It is total control.

    I agree with that plus the OP premise.
