adamantly opposed to reason, logic, and anything scientific in nature (this includes AGW)?
Is it because they know AGW is real, and they realize if they don’t at least admit it’s real they will go down in history as the people who either did, or nearly killed our planet?
I mean, it’s obvious denying AGW would, if anything, only gain them votes.
You’re right Jello, the conservatives have politicized the issue (and not even the conservative politicians; the Joe Schmo conservatives, the average American conservatives)
Jello, as I’ve repeated to you again and again: anyone can predict the future, the crux of the issue is predicting it accurately. If you don’t think climatic shifts can be predicted accurately, tell it to Svante Arrhenius, who hypothesized the warming trend almost a full year before it began???
It’s really just the most right-wing fanatics who refuse to accept the reality of the situation. The Republican presidential candidates knew that not only is denying AGW a scientifically ignorant position, but it’s not even one that would help them with the majority of their voting base.
Don’t let the loudmouths on YA fool you - they’re in the minority even among their own political party members.
………..
ll three candidates now running for office support global warming issues, but as you said, “maybe its just to get the votes”, you may be right about that.
The other side of the coin is that many people are becoming rich over global warming, and I don’t think that they all believe in it. In fact I would go as far to say that many people who are heavily invested in global warming, think its junk science.
Conservatives do trash global warming because its obvious that the science in it has as many holes it as a slice of Swiss Cheese. Many who don’t believe in global warming are not running for office nor are they getting rich over this hoax

ust proves AGW is a political, not scientific argument.
Vox populi, vox Dei, right?
[Edit] Yet no one still can predict the future - No one knows if it will be warmer or colder in the future. Only soothsayers, psychics, and mystics have that ability. Is this what passes for “science” these days?
So sad the state of education. The gvmt schools have done a good job with indoctrination. They’re graduating tools now.
[Edit] Fine he predicted the climate once. A coin could do that half the time.
Ask him what’s the climate outlook for 6 months, 12 months, 5 years, and 10 years from now, and lets see the calculation he used to come to that conclusion.

Because they decided, incorrectly I think, that letting one side frame the entire debate while you sit on the sidelines saying there is no problem is bad policy. But the IPCC can’t model past temperature, let alone future climate. None of their dire predictions has yet to come true. Their theory can’t explain cooling post-WWII or the current cooling, or why CO2 levels trail temp in all temp records and has been 20 times higher than at present with temp only 7C warmer. They really should refuse to play ball with the IPCC and their hired guns.
Will you still be yelling about AGW after the ice age returns? What would it take for you to consider the possibility that your pet theory is incorrect and fatally flawed and always has been? Why is every storm blamed on AGW, or as it’s now called, climate change? What’s next? Volcanoes due to AGW? Earthquakes? Meteor strikes?
A few years hence when the hysteria dies down it will be too late if we’ve surrendered our sovereignty to the Greens of the world, to the UN and to power-grabbing politicians. Then again, since all climate change, including cooling, is now due to AGW, they need never admit they were wrong.
