What reasons do Christians/republicans have for denying global warming?

Christians have no reason. The Bible does not say that God controls climate, but it does say that we reap what we sow. (Galatians 6:7)

Denialists are not real Christians.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)

Denialists worship oil, coal and SUVs, in violation of the first two commandments. So why do they deny global warming? Fear. Many people are afraid that if we do not use fossil fuels, we will not be able to drive cars or heat or light our homes. But all of these can be done with new energy sources. And a lot of oil companies have their headquarters in the Bible Belt. Many preachers love having 10% of oil company profits in the offering bucket.

What makes you think that anyone has accepted AGW uncritically? How do you know that the asker isn't a former skeptic?

And Sagebrush quotes politicians and presumes to lecture realists on being scientific.

I just can't take people who use the term 'denier' seriously.

"scientist or liberal or college/university peer ever denies it", wrong.

Sciencist against global warming

"what do Christians and republicans know (or think they know)that scientists don't"

They know how not to sell out for money, and that the truth can not be controled by science, or peer pressure.

Some people are so convinced they are right about something, they lose sight of the fact that they might not be right after all.

Maybe you are one of those people. After all, nobody is immune.

Some people search for truth and some people love the lie.

There is no scientific reasoning for Global Warming and smart people can see this.

If you are so smart PROVE Global Warming number one, and that it is caused by man number two. (You won't get past number one, I assure you.)

Also it is for the same reason that we didn't buy into an imminent Ice Age 40 years ago. But you greenies did. Ha! Ha!

<No scientist or liberal or college/university peer ever denies it> Liberal colleges are agenda driven toward Communism. That is a known fact.

Quote by Ottmar Edenhoffer, high level UN-IPCC official: "We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy...Basically it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization...One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore."

Redistribution is a code word for Communism. Also, when a greenie admits that Global Warming 'has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore' we tend to believe what they admit. don't you greenies listen to your own leaders?

If you are to stupid to listen to what your own leaders have to say then you shouldn't look down your nose at those who do.

Quote by Christine Stewart, former Canadian Environment Minister: “No matter if the science is all phoney, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”

"Justice and Equality' are other code words for Communism and us smart ones are listening.

Also, regarding your statement that 'no scientist' ever denies it. That just shows how ill informed your are. http://www.petitionproject.org/ has a list of over 31,000 'scientists' who disavow Global Warming and have signed a paper admitting it.

So take your Heathen/Democrat garbage and put in the trash compactor. Your utter stupidity is showing.

No legitimate reason whatever, of course.

"They can't be so stupid as to have entirely no idea what they're talking about."

Actually, "so stupid as to have entirely no idea what they're talking about" is a fairly accurate summation of the state of knowledge of most of them. I would only amend it to say "stupid and/or lazy and/or pigheaded"). As a whole, they are dumber than the average of the population, but not greatly so.

Most of the "Christians" and Republicans spouting anti-science nonsense are, however, actually FAKE Christians and FAKE conservatives. Scientists, "liberals" and university folks should stop pandering to these dishonest morons by adhering to THEIR (the morons') sanitized and misleading labels for themselves. Nowhere does the Bible say "blessed are the stupid liars." There is nothing conservative about parading one's ignorance and lying like hell.

As for "misinterpreting," yes, there is a ton of that too. See here for a comprehensive list including useful debunkings: http://www.skepticalscience.com/argument.php

Here, also, the REAL scientific conclusions reached by the world's top REAL scientists, i.e. the conclusions that the anti-science crackpots on this page are addicted to denying:

U.S. National Academy of Sciences, 2010:

http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=12782&...

“Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems.”

http://nationalacademies.org/morenews/20100716.htm...

“Choices made now about carbon dioxide emissions reductions will affect climate change impacts experienced not just over the next few decades but also in coming centuries and millennia…Because CO2 in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe.”

http://www.physics.fsu.edu/awards/NAS/

“The Academy membership is composed of approximately 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates, of whom nearly 200 have won Nobel Prizes. Members and foreign associates of the Academy are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research; election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.”

Edit: Flossie, here, is a FAKE royalist. Genuine royalists are in favor of intelligent leaders running things and incurable simpletons like he/she/it keeping their mouths shut and their empty brains to themselves.

Partly because it is promoted by people like you, who have uncritically accepted what you have been told.

You have not put the slightest effort into.understanding the issue, or you would know that your assumtion of 'no scientist' is demonstrably (and irresponsibly) false.

Here are the statements of 1000 scientists who you claim don't exist.

The bible tells them everything that will happen the world ends when Satan comes, So they never have to worry about global warming.

remember, we are talking about a specific bent of xianity: fundamentalism.

such people are not big on reason and evidence. they deny global warming because their team, the republican party, denies it, and the party denies it because it's big business interests don't see a way to profit from it in the short run.
