So back to the topic at hand, Rasmussen poll on GW, why do so many Americans distrust scientific statements concerning climate change and global warming?

[peeker01]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AgentR11', 'W')hy is Mexico a problem? They seem reasonably modest with regard to production of CO2...

Mark my words on this thread, within the century Anglos in the US will observe the extended family structure that the Mexican immigrants continue to maintain, and will eventually capitulate to the only remaining visible vestige of sanity.

So if 69% of Americans think climatologists have falsified their research, exactly why is that the case? That's a lot more folks than just the Elvis Factor, and its very nearly the same as what you'd get if you went looking for people with strong religious beliefs; as was discussed on a previous post concerning the percentage of Americans that belief in the inerrancy of the Bible as well as those who consider the Bible a true religious text but wouldn't assert literalness to its stories.

In fact, that number is so large, that there is no way that it can avoid including some significant number of Democrats; given that there are Republicans who are on the AGW+ team.

My personal opinion on this level of distrust is that people have been taught here, in this country, that science is a vehicle that is hostile to religion, and that no practicing scientist could ever be a devout, religious person. This perception is furthered every time those on the AGW- side hold up a candidate piece of FUD and lace it with vague religious tones and references, a perfect bait to areligious people attack and demonstrate their opposition to faith, thus linking that opposition to faith with the AGW+ team's message.

In the end, in popular culture and perception, anyone that claims to be a scientist must oppose religion, faith, and belief. Anyone that opposes faith, otoh, is instantly untrustworthy to a very large majority of the American electorate.

Been browsing the web the last couple days, looking for doomer pr0n and other entertainments about climate change, extinction, death, decay, doom, and other fun things.

There really is very little place for a right winger to feel comfortable on the web; every last one of the sites I ran across that were supposedly about climate change, were spending a good half their powder advocating for various and sundry left wing policy positions completely unrelated to climate. I honestly hadn't done this before, so I was a bit surprised by the uniformity of it all. The level of intolerance and closed mindedness was pretty overwhelming!

Obviously, or so I'm lead to believe, one must engage in huge, redistributive social programs in order to halt CO2 emissions and remove some of it from the atmosphere. I've not quite figured out the chemistry of this assertion though....

Perhaps I'd have more fun writing FUD, even if it is dishonest! (not, but still...)
And yall wonder why the science of Climate Change is rejected by a large swath of the American Electorate.
