- hackuser 11y agoI agree that's "a" position, but there is much more. By itself, it doesn't explain why they try to defund research, deny the facts, etc. The only pattern I can find to explain it is that they might see the issue as part of the 'culture war' with liberalism, and so they reject it outright as part of their effort to reject liberalism. (But that's a huge generalization about the thoughts of tens of millions of people.)
- rjsw 11y agoI think that climate change denial is an example of a cargo cult and that we could learn more about cargo cults in general by studying this one.
