Why are most liberals also AGW supporters?

Update:

Wow, liberals do think they are the elites. I love the comment that the more educated one gets, the more liberal he gets. That is fascinating that there are people who actually believe this. Nazi's had similar delusions of grandeur.

    Liberals are more likely to understand that scientific data speaks louder than blowhards on the radio. And they tend to have higher IQs and more education.

    Most Liberals have a bit of Luddite in them,

    I.e. the notion that Man & Technology is intrinsically evil and f*cking up the Earth.

    Since this is a core tenant of AGW,

    Liberals tend to suspend any form of meaningful skepticism.

    The Scientist who's data created the now famous 'hockey stick' graph can publicly announce that:

    A: He can't explain the last 15 years of stable temperatures.

    B: He lost the original data.

    And not give them a sliver of doubt.

    They will respond by:

    A) Labeling skeptics 'deniers'

    B) Insisting that AGW is settled science.

    C) Repackaging Global Warming as Climate Change.

    D) Explain how their superior awareness is from high IQs.

    The more educated people become, the more liberal they become. The more educated they become, the more inclined they are to understand the significance of a scientific consensus and not be swayed by loud rants from TV pundits about how it is all a massive conspiracy.

    This is all political their beliefs. They trade one religion for another that is why liberals support AGW.

    Easy. Decarbonizing the economy has been a liberal agenda way before global warming.
