Why do climate change deniers tend to be those who know the science the least.

They tend to be conservative religous republicans with little intrest or knowledge of science why is this and to be in the GOP these days climate change denial is paramount.

Funny that I have noted exactly the opposite. Those who believe AGW are high school science types. They believe that somewhere there is an 'expert' who has. crunched all the numbers and therefore knows all the answers. Those who don't accept AGW tend to hold that experts are not to be bowed down to. A white lab coat means nothing to those who actually understand science. Science requires looking at the actual data and understanding where it fails to give an adequate picture. Take this summer where a small part of the US has hot weather therefore the entire globe is about to burn up. If you look at the average temperature across the entire US you find the numbers are well within statistical norms. Nothing to get excited about. That is the actual science not the fear pedaling we see from the clowns in the white coats.

@hippyjoe1955 right... I've read over 300 peer reviewed studies to confirm agw is a tax scam. Congrats to Bill Gates he's banked on it.

@S33K3R You just showed your complete lack of science. Peer review is not science. It is academe/marketing. Academe is completely dependent on government subsidy and thus any study thusly is to be tossed in the trash immediately. That you think peer review means anything shows how little you actually know. That is not meant to be an insult. It is simply to point out the logical fallacy of relying on experts. Rather what do you observe. We have had a cool summer this year and lots of man made fires to frighten children and immature adults into thinking that mankind is destroying the earth. The earth had much higher CO2 levels before mankind existed (if you accept the old earth theory) than it does now. The coal beds found all over the world and the limestone found all over the world used to be CO2 Plants and animals used it in their life processes and took it out of the atmosphere. Funnily enough when the CO2 levels were in the 1500 PPM range as they were in the past the earth did not overheat. In fact it got cooler and ice ages happened. Funny how that worked and here you are worried that the earth will burn up when CO2 levels are around 400 PPM. All because you do not know science.

@hippyjoe1955 oh it's you again. Ok thanks!

@S33K3R Ditto unscientists ike you are plentiful and ignorant.
