    Now this is where some libtards tries the authoritative approach to debating claiming "consensus"
    Hey Einstein, the Milagro post references a climate science naysayer whose paper did not provide any of his own data, just used modeling and data of others. Oops.

    is economics science because it's amazing the number of liberals who don't understand supply and demand and the basic concept of how markets work.

    The posts on this thread completely confirm the Pew study. Republicans hate expertise.

    Now to find the cause. I say class resentment is a large part.

    Even the claim that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for centuries is now being disputed!

    Freely admitting to his own ignorance of scientific matters, he is yet another that think climatologists are some kind of gods The truth is, as Richard Lindzen said, it is a second rate science, all the truly top notch graduates go into physics, chemistry or maths.

However, it’s difficult to argue against the notion that the Republican Party these days are the de facto political organization for anti-scientific rhetoric.

    The President of the United States is skeptical of vaccine safety. He isn’t sure about climate change being real either, and neither is most of his cabinet – including the person responsible for keeping an eye on it. Heck, Trump’s not even sure what wind actually is, or what its intentions are.

    So what of Republican voters? Is the average GOP voter a very different creature? Do Democrats have a better grasp on science than the Republican part of American society? Well, according to a recent set of surveys from Pew Research, political belief strongly influences scientific acceptance for both Democrats and Republicans – but in two very different ways."

    ...
    "In fact, there was no correlation between scientific consensus acceptance and scientific literacy – partisanship seemed to make scientific literacy irrelevant. Those with almost no background in science responded in much the same way to questions as those with a high degree of scientific comprehension.

    For example, only 27 percent of GOPers with a “high” scientific literacy agreed that the phenomenon caused rising sea levels, and only 19 percent agreed that storms are more severe because of it.

    So, if you’re a Democrat, you are much more likely to accept scientific facts the more educated you are on the subject. If you’re a Republican, the chances are you won’t give a damn about what any scientist says – with some exceptions."

    Scientific "Consensus"? Laugh My Ass Off. You mean pseudo science.....left wing philosophy that calls itself science? A consensus is an OPINION based upon speculation, conjecture and emotion....not physical science.

    You have just demonstrated the difference. Those that accept real science never attempt to silence anyone with a mere difference of opinion. But fascists do.

    Why does one need an 'honours' degree in order to read scientific studies?
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
