Late last night Yokohama time, the world’s scientists did once more what they’ve done so many times in the past: issued a thumping big report demonstrating that climate change poses the greatest danger our civilization has ever faced. These regular analyses have been conducted since 1995 under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – by now the papers, indexes, footnotes and drafts would fill the Superdome.

They’ve said it with graphs, they’ve said it with tables. They’ve offered color-coded guides to future decades. They’ve told us about basic science and, when that didn’t work, they’ve tried to explain it in terms anyone could understand. The latest summary, for instance, shows that most studies of food production in a warming world forecast dire trouble – some, by century’s end, show a 50% reduction in crop yields. Both drought and flood will keep on increasing, the number of refugees will climb sharply, and we risk “civil wars and intergroup violence.”

Are Conservatives More "Anti-Science" Than Are Liberals?

Just because people on both sides think the other side is out of touch does not necessary mean both sides are equally out of touch with reality. If you believe there are demons under the bed and I think you are delusional, one of us is actually right and the other is actually wrong.

So who engages in more science-denial -- liberals or conservatives?

Milton; "The people are smarter than you think."
No they are not. The general IQ has gone from 100 average in 1965 to close to 90 now. Because of the tendency of the lowest spectrum to breed the most and/or migrate here.
Besides dimwit denialists like Milt, we have murderers;
"Report Shows Sharp Rise in Murders of Environmentalists, Only 1% of Killers Convicted

"Killings of people protecting the environment and rights to land increased sharply between 2002 and 2013 as competition for natural resources intensifies, a new report from Global Witness reveals. In the most comprehensive global analysis of the problem on record, the campaign group has found that at least 908 people are known to have died in this time. Disputes over industrial logging, mining and land rights the key drivers, and Latin America and Asia-Pacific particularly hard hit."

Anyone TRYING to kill THIS Environmentalist, gets multiple slugs from a hand held 410 shotgun called a Taurus Judge Public Defender!
