Boebert, you have competition. Hurry up!

The Left doesn't believe in actual science. They're the sort that accepts things like Aryan physics (aka Deutsche Physik), or more recently the anti-GMO movement, Gorebal Warming (aka anthropomorphic CO2 based climate change), astrology ( https://www.exploringtheproblemspace...ust-in-science ), and other pseudoscience.
They also tend to ignore that they are anti-scientific, sort of the Dunning-Kruger effect...
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...ianism/620185/
it is impossible to take 'listen to the science' fucksticks seriously when they say that there are more than two genders.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
You know, your response was irrelevant ad hominem. Prove me wrong. I know from long personal experience, and as I demonstrated above from elsewhere, the Left tends to be anti-science.
My latest target on that front locally is this whack-a-doodle

She put a vapid, jargon, and platitude laced letter in the paper here. I'm sending her a polite response that will pretty much demolish everything she said with math and science. I'm even including that I'd willingly debate her face-to-face. If she responds, I fully expect her to use ad hominem and tell me I'm wrong without a single fact included, ignoring everything I stated. No attempt at a rebuttal whatsoever. It wouldn't be the first time a radical Leftist blew me off with nothing useful to say because they didn't like what I had to say.
The subject in this case is wind and solar power, a pet peeve of mine. The people on the Left most stridently advocating for it are pretty much uniformly ill-informed liberal arts majors that can't deal with actual data, which Yara Marin is definitely in that category.
(She's also associated with La Familia Vota, a group promoting minority voting. She--accidentally I'm sure-- sent me a text last election that I turned into the state as a case of potential voter fraud, so there's that too)

And then we read your sources and find you are the one that is suffering from Dunning-Kruger.
From your first source -So is climate change respectable or not when it comes to science? If we accept your source then it must be.So why would egalitarian liberals embrace signals of scientific respectability in one case (climate change) but not another (astrology). My guess is that “values” have less to do with it than trust, and whom one trusts has a lot to do with one’s politics.
Your second source has nothing to do with science and its acceptance. It is about how authoritarians can be on both the left and the right.
I agree that dictators can come from the left and the right. But it would seem you are trying to argue that Nazis are on the right since you brought up Aryan physics.Costello and his colleagues started fresh. They developed what eventually became a list of 39 statements capturing sentiments such as “We need to replace the established order by any means necessary” and “I should have the right not to be exposed to offensive views.”
Thanks for another shining example of a conservative self own. Keep up the good work.

Solar and wind are not affordable. They are expensive and unreliable. That can be seen everywhere the two have been heavily invested in and implemented. What works and is affordable, would be nuclear backed by natural gas. That lowers carbon emissions about as much as possible, and likely less than a grid heavily dependent on solar and wind backed up by fossil fuel sources due to the inherent unreliability of solar and wind.
If our grid were say 75% nuclear, 25% natural gas, we'd have cheap power with a very significant reduction in CO2 without having to pave over paradise with parking lots of miles and miles of solar panels and wind turbines. It's only the anti-science radical greentard Left fighting this issue, but they have the media idiots backing them so the issue is never rationally discussed. Instead, we get fed a diet of bullshit by them on this subject.
