Seriously ? I thought the connection was obvious. If climate change is true then fixing it would require government intervention in the profit making activities of American business and this, according to Accepted Right Wing American Doctrine, equates to Socialism.

Hence for these people, climate change MUST be false, even before they look at a skeric of scientific data, and furthrmore it is un-American and even downright communist to support climate change.

Its actually important to realise the initial denial is political and Climate Change is deemed a false doctrine for political reasons before any consideration of the science ever takes place. In fact the only reason to look at the science at all is to find means to undermine or discredit it.



Look up the George C. Marshall Institute if you want an example of how its done.

Of course, Al Gore and Michael Moore don't have a profit motive. All those phds don't have a profit motive. Hollywood has no motive. The Weather Channel doesn't have a profit motive. GE and $50 lightbulbs, no profit motive there. Carbon tax credit, no wealth re-distribution motives there...how long do I go on.

Please pull your head out and take a look around. This has been going on for decades because phds couldn't find anything else to do to be productive in society. They see climate change as a money maker. Really, it has evolved into institutional welfare. But that would be degrading to call it what it really is. So they mask it as a noble cause. "I can't figure out anything to do with my life and my degree, so I go work on climate change!". A peddler of deceit, lies, half truths, manipulation...etc. Something to be real proud of when you wake up in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror. "I'm a good guy"!

Thank you for demonstrating WTG's point so well. Your monumental display of the consequences of a lack of education, combined with crass anti-intellectualism, and a willingness to believe any old crap that Fox and the like spew out is a perfect example of why the political and economic system in the USA is dragging it backwards at the rapidly-accelerating rate it now displays...

How many right-wing conspiracy-theory-pushing lunatics does it take to change a lightbulb?

Let's just leave the political bashing behind, I don't really care what anyone's politics are, I really couldn't care less. The place where I live, in Northern Ireland by the by, is awash with political wingnuts, weirdo's !!! Bleedin place is oversubscribed if you ask me. So could we get off the political bashing and back on to the topic at hand ......................

It started off as one, with 5./JG27.Farber making the usual ridiculous claims about taxes based on 'lies'. Given the monumental display of wilful ignorance demonstrated by most of the denialists, there is no chance of this ever being about science anyway. If you want a debate on the science of the issue, this isn't the place to have it - though I'd suggest you do a little more reading up on the subject, and on the politics behind the conspiracy-mongering, before getting too involved. As far as science is concerned, the basic issue is resolved - man-made effects on the climate are real, and will have serious consequences. There is little credible evidence to the contrary, and most of what the conspiracy-mongers present as such is either out-of-date, misinterpreted, or just plain fabricated. Of course, there are still debates within the scientific community regarding details, and there is much more to be learned. You won't learn about any of it on internet forums dominated by political propaganda pushing anti-intellectual dolts though. They are fools, and apparently proud of the fact...
