Judging from answers to Climate Change questions here, do Cons intentionally fail to understand Science?

Do they just not want to hear it?

Update:

Once again an answer that makes no sense.

    Cons generally distrust science, which is rather sad and disturbing.

    Cons believe there is more evidence for Noah's Ark than climate change.

    Edit:

    Below you will find a few links to Teabaggers, claiming endless oil. Seeing as how uneducated and ignorant these people are, how is anyone supposed to challenge their laughable beliefs???

    I'm honestly unsure. This seems to be unique to American conservatives. Go to Germany, and you find the right-wing Christian Democratic Union under Angela Merkel calling for attention to climate change.

    In Canada, there is at least some funding from the right-wing Conservative party towards using cleaner energy and environmental causes. That is, they at least acknowledge it is a problem.

    In America, the right-wing seems to be completely paranoid and delusional. There really is no explanation.

    whilst i do no longer relish the way you worded a number of your statements i'm going to respond in any case. just to help you comprehend i'm a intense schooler and that i might call myself a conservative because of the fact I even have conservative government suggestions yet I do have liberal societal perspectives. i'm extraordinarily specific that worldwide warming and climate replace is led to by potential of methane gasoline (released by potential of smoke, exhaust, cow burping/farting, etc.) in our atmosphere that's thinning and inflicting holes interior the ozone. This has led to a number of issues to ensue which incorporate melting of a few glaciers that's elevating the sea top and extra extreme and extraordinary climate. additionally, there is something approximately green domicile gasses in there (i think of that has to do with methane gasoline and the ozone layer as properly.) I dislike it while human beings make standard assumptions and stereotypes approximately others. for example comments like 'all Christians are loopy' or 'All atheists are pessimists.' i admire the asserting/word/question: Why do the stupid human beings constantly seem to communicate the loudest? in basic terms because of the fact some fool conservatives can not help you comprehend something approximately worldwide warming does no longer mean that all of them can not.

    I have it on good authority that the leftist woolly mammoth blamed the conservative ones for "global warming" during the last ice age.

    Something about massive poop fumes going up into the atmosphere...

    Seriously. The only thing about "climate change" that's new, is the fact that you've managed to make Al Gore a very rich man for pointing out that the earth has climate cycles....yet you think WE'RE the idiots.

    We understand that "science" is driven by observation, study, trial and error. Liberals think science is driven by money, as evidenced by this climate change bullshit. So which among us actually embraces science?

  • 8 years ago

    what science tells you that giving our money to poor countries improves climate change that is more like robbery

    Evidently Liberals think that science is what ever the popular opinion is such as in a consensus.
