I guess that this is sort of like a chicken and egg thing:
1. Are people fucking morons because they're conservatives?
2. Or are people conservatives because they're fucking morons?

(65,616 posts)because they are stupid or because the GOP is the party of stupid people? I don't know really. I do know they don't seem to have any kind of shame or humiliation gene in their bodies. Otherwise, why would they post such stupid shit as 'it's cold outside' so there can be no Global Warming? Are they too stupid to read books and magazines?
I would suspect a 5th grader could be taught about Climate Change and would understand what evidently grown adults fail to grasp.

(22,875 posts)Its about politics.. period.. you can call them stupid, because they know the facts.. and would rather support the wrong agenda, and let their children and grandchildren live with the dire consequences..than have to admit that environmentalists knew what they were talking about.. Back in the 70's when this first started coming to the forefront it was already acknowledged that we would have warmer summers and colder winters.. in that when it did get cold and snowy it would be over the top..
Simplistically some started calling it global warming, because it was going to affect the ice sheets and the oceans were going to rise.. but they know.. and they know we know.. Wonder how their descendents will feel when they have to live in arid plains.. probably will not even acknowledge them or do it with much shame knowing that this was part of their family history

(35,015 posts)They might be well-educated and have above average IQs but that doesn't matter. They align themselves with those who exploit the earth for profit. If they were to admit there's a climate problem then they'd have to face the reality that fossil fuel consumption needs to end, and that may upset their applecarts, and their bank accounts.
